PREFACE TO LIFE OF GEORGE DEWEY. To tell the story of a life well spent and honorably ended requires but the pen of the faithful historian and biog- rapher ; but to record for all time the past achievements of a man yet in the prime of most perfect manhood, whose career of usefulness may yet continue for more than a score of years, and one whose manifest destiny seems to have already made for him a place in the very topmost niche of fame as a naval commander, calls for the exercise of mine's of thought and powers of intellect well calculated to command the very best effort of any author. In gathering the story of the Life of Rear Admiral George Dewey we have had access to an unusual fount of knowledge in the person of the Admiral's loving sister, Mrs. Mary P. Greeley, whose assist- ance was gratefully accepted by the writer ; and other members of the family of George Dewey have also generously aided us in the preparation of this work. A letter received from George Dewey himself as late as October 29, and written from the flagship Olympia on September 14, 1898, cordially approves our effort, and very graciously indorses the stories of his life as furnished by his devoted sister. In this work we have studiously avoided giving to the story a stereotyped official character, but have rather sought to present in an interesting manner both fact and fable for the delectation of the American people. THE AUTHOR. Washington, D. C, November i, 1898. [5] GEORGE DEWEY. "An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told." — Shakespeare. THE day was Christmas, that happiest of all the winter holi- days, and the good people of the Capital City of the Green Mountain State were as merry with their festivities as is the custom in all those ancient New England households. Decem- ber 25 comes there as early as elsewhere in the calendar year; but, somehow, it seems to be a little later in the season when the snow has lain on the ground for several weeks, and the jolly jingle of the sleighbells has become sufi&ciently familiar to no longer cause a scurry of the children to the windows to see the horses and hear the music of the sweet toned harbingers of peace and happiness. And, too, the latitude of Montpelier is pretty well North, and long ere the last week in December the thrifty householder of the year of our Lord 1837 had banked his house against the wintry winds, and lighted the fires in the great stoves and fireplaces which make the long evenings pass so pleasantly, and which have given to the homes of Vermont a fame above that of most of her sister States as a place of good cheer during the Yule Tide season. It is here the children come to crack nuts, eat apples and drink the best of sweet cider, and the ringing laughter, mingled now and again with the music of song or the interesting tales of other holidays, have a tendency to make the older ones wish for a return of the days of childhood, when Santa Claus was not to them a myth, before the years of care and responsibility had made them acquainted with the stern realities of life. Nearly opposite the State House on State street there then stood a vineclad cottage, known far and wide as the hospitable home of one of Vermont's foremost citizens. Dr. Julius Yemans Dewey. Pleasant were the surroundings here, so far as Nature and loving [7] 8 Life of George Dewey. hands could make them, and the stately elm trees, with their over- hanging branches, glistening with the crystals which heaven alone can send them at this season of the year, only added to the grandeur of the landscape. Back of the house at a little distance ran the mur- muring waters of the Onion river, where boys and girls, in their warm hoods and fur mufflers, gathered during the winter months to while away an idle hour and gain much needed respite from their studies or labors, and "crack the whip" was as much in evidence with the skaters then as the latter-day sport of curling is in this year of 1898. In the distance are to be seen the snow-clad tops of the mountain ranges for which the State is famous, and which, for six months in each year, are so covered with verdure as to entitle them to the appellation of "Green Mountains." In this pretty cottage home of Dr. Dewey, Christmas Day, 1837, was not unlike those of other years. Children there were — two robust boys, aged respectively, 8 and 1 1 years — and to them the recurring holiday brought its usual accompaniment of toys, sleds, skates, pop-corn, candy, nice warm mittens and fur-lined coats and caps. But there was present an air of quiet expectancy of itself apart from the regular festivities, and no one acquainted with the family were at all surprised when, on the following day, December 26, they learned that another baby boy had come to bless the home of Dr. Dewey and his most estimable beloved wife. That babe was christened a few days later in the church which the father had founded, and was named George Dewey. The large congregation who witnessed the baptism, and who heard the prompt decisive answers of the fond parents to the questions propounded by the dark-robed rector of Christ Church, little realized that the infant thus starting on the journey of life was one day to become the best- loved American of his time, achieve the greatest naval victory in the history of nations, and, by the effort of a single day practically end a mighty war with a powerful nation, and change the map of the world. George Dewey was what some people would call "well born." His parents were both among the most highly respected people in CAPT. SIMEON DEWEY, I532. DR. JULIUS YEMANS DEWEY, I964, Life of George Dewey. 9 that staid old city of Montpelifer. His father had been graduated at the age of twenty -three years from the Medical Department of the University of Vermont, and practised his profession with great suc- cess till 1850, when he became medical examiner of the National Life Insurance Company. During those six and twenty years the genial doctor became the best-known man in all that country round. His visits to the bedside of the sick and dying brought him in contact with thousands of families, the descendants of whom are now con- gratulating George Dewey and his family on the victory of Manila Bay. To the sick his coming was as a beam of sunshine on a dark and dreary day. He was a religious man, but not one of the sort who carried his Christianity on his coat sleeve to be seen of men, but who, rather, permitted the glory of his Master to shine out in his countenance, and who spoke cheering words to those in trouble, and always had a pleasant smile for those with whom he came in daily contact. His was a religion of deeds, not words, and many are the tales told since his death by those whom he had helped in many ways during his long and useful life. He dispensed charity with a lavish hand, and yet his left hand ndver knew what his right hand was doing. As may be readily understood, Julius Yemans Dewey was a man of importance in the community where he lived, and hjs counsel and advice were often sought by men in all the walks of life. He was a man of musical and literary tastes, and he is said to rarely have permitted a Sunday evening to pass which did not witness a gathering of the young people of his immediate neighbor- hood at his home, where for an hour the sweet tones of the cottage organ were united with the melodious notes of the doctor's own superb tenor, mingled with the voices of a score or more young men and women, all singing in sweet accord the popular hymns for which the Hymnal of the Episcopal Church is so justly noted Long prayers were not the doctor's forte ; but praises to God in the true spirit of Christian fellowship in every day life were the character- istics of the Admiral's father. When the handful of worshipers in Montpelier who espoused the Episcopal faith decided to build a church of their own, it was to Doctor Dewey they came for counsel. lo Life of George Dewey. and he became known as the founder of Christ Church. The first funeral ever held in this sacred edifice was that of George Dewey's sainted mother, who passed over to the bright beyond when the future hero of Manila Bay was but a mere chit of a boy of five years. It was in the Sunday School of Christ Church that young George was taught his first lessons in the catechism, and here, too, he was confirmed and admitted to fellowship in the church in which he has been a consistent worshiper all the days of the years since passed. Dr. Julius Y. Dewey was ever interested deeply in all matters of an educational nature, and the churches, public schools and libraries of Vermont always had in him a staunch supporter and earnest friend. He was a public-spirited citizen, and was ever ready with his voice or purse to aid in the advancement of railroad, church, school, hotel or other enterprises in which his loved village or city of Montpelier might become interested. In a word, George Dewey's father was a man among men, highly educated, cultured, of strict integrity, exceptional morals, and firmness of character, just such a man as one would expect to know as the progenitor of such a leader of men as Rear Admiral George Dewey. The Admiral's ancestors all along the line from Thomas Dewey the Settler, who landed in Massachusetts Bay with the Rev. John Warham's little band of persecuted Christians in the summer of 1630, down through the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, have been men who have taken a prominent part in the affairs of State and Nation. And, too, he comes of stock possessing the quali- ties which he himself has shown in his destruction of the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Cavite. The Deweys have ever been fighters — not brawlers who quarrel for the sake of creating a disturbance, but fighters to the manor born, who were ever ready to lay down their lives if need be in defense of their country's honor, or to resent any insult to their country's flag. Among the best known of the family's representatives in this class stands the name of the Rev. Jedediah Dewey, whom history tells us adjourned a service in his church to go out one Sunday morning to fight the British at the Battle of Bennington, and returned to the house of worship and took Life of George Dewey. ii up his sermon where he had left off when interrupted, and finished it to the end. Another of this same family was Capt. Elijah Dewey, a son of the Rev. Jedediah, who has a record of having been at Ticonderoga, the evacuation of St. Clare, at the Battle of Bennington, where his reverend father earned the title of "the fighting parson," and at the surrender of Burgoyne. And when that other Vermonter, Ethan Allen, put in an appearance so early in the morning and demanded the keys of the fortress at Ticonderoga, he was accom- panied by Ensign Simeon Dewey, who was a brother of George Dewey's great-grandfather, Capt. William Dewey, who was himself very much in evidence all through the Revolutionary War. Several others of the Admiral's ancestors in direct line have been equally as conspicuous as defenders of the stars and stripes as those so briefly noted. The youthful George, as a boy, was not unlike other boys of his own circle of acquaintance ; but he was ever the chosen leader in all the games or sports. Elsewhere in this volume are told stories and anecdotes of his childhood and youth, all going to illustrate a char- acter which the passage of the years has but intensified and strength- ened. As a child he played marbles, swapped knives with the other boys, played mumble-te-peg, jacks, four old cat, hide and seek, and all the other games known to Young America in that day and gen- eration. But one thing was noticeable. His kite would fly a little the highest, he was a trifle the best shot at marbles, his hand a little steadier than the others at the game of jacks ; and when some one was wanted to take the lead in anything, from playing truant to go nutting, to the running away from school to go in swimming, it was the future Admiral who was called upon to head the procession. And so his life was spent till he was fourteen years of age, when he followed the dominie who had so soundly trounced him in the village school, as related elsewhere, to a private school which he established about this time in a neighboring village. But George was not to be contented with the quiet life which his family had led, and yearned for something more exciting. It was this spirit which led him one year later to prevail upon his father to send him to the 12 Life of George Dewey. military academy since known as Norwich University, then located at Norwich, Vt., but which has since been moved to Northfield in the same state. Here he was prepared for West Point, but here, too, he acquired a liking for the Naval branch of the government service, and after much effort, succeeded in obtaining the permission of his father to enter the Naval Academy at Annapolis. It was not so hard in those days to secure an appointment to West Point or Annapolis as it is now ; but the entrance examinations were if any- thing even harder. A schoolmate of his at Norwich, named George Spaulding, also wished to enter the Naval Academy, and it so hap- pened that Spaulding secured the appointment to the vacancy then existing to the credit of the State of Vermont, while George Dewey was certified as alternate. But, as is often the case, the alternate entered the class, and George Spaulding is now a preacher of the Gospel in Syracuse, N. Y., and is reported to have preached an elo- quent discourse to an interested congregation May 15, 1898, on the subject of his former schoolmate's great naval victory. Young Dewey entered the Naval Academy in the freshmen class of 1854, at the age of seventeen, and proved to be one of the brightest students in his class. Many boys at Annapolis squirm under the severe disci- pline of the Academy ; but to George Dewey it seemed to be accepted as a matter of course. And the discipline and painstaking care with which every move was made and every shot fired in Manila Bay on that eventful Sunday morning of May i, 1898, is but an evidence of the great value of that same rigid accounting to which every stu- dent is held who enters the Academy at Annapolis, and which has given to the American navy the best trained officers of any navy in the world. George Dewey entered the Naval Academy at a critical period in the Nation's history. It was during the years just preceding the War of the Rebellion, and there were many sons of Southern States in all the classes of the Academy. Slavery and anti-slavery discus- sions were of every-day occurrence on the Academy green, and the gallant son of the Green Mountain State could always be depended on to espouse the cause of liberty and human freedom. And what BIRTHPLACE OF REAR ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY, MONTPELIER, Vt! HON. CHARLES DEWEY 3777. Life of George Dewey. 13 was more, he was ever ready to defend his position with muscle if necessary. He did not mind being called a "Yankee," for to him that was a title rather to be proud of ; and it was not a difficult task for him to find a name for his opponents quite as opprobrious as any they should apply to him. Young Dewey was not quarrelsome ; but he knew when he was insulted, and was as ready to resent an insult then as he was to carry out the President's order to find and destroy or capture the Spanish fleet in the China Sea. And it is said of him that he always came out first best in all such contests. He had rather study than fight ; but he could do both equally well, as the Spanish admiral in the Phillipine waters can testify. On one occa- sion, when the future Admiral had soundly thrashed a fellow cadet who had assaulted him because he disagreed with him on some point or other, he was challenged to a duel with pistols. The challenge was promptly accepted, and we may be sure there would have been a vacancy in some class the next morning had not some fellow stu- dents informed the officer of the day of the impending contest on the field of honor. And the vacancy would not have been in the Ver- mont contingent either. The class of 1854 contained some sixty members, but only four- teen men finished the course and graduated. George Dewey was not at the head of this class, but was near enough to the head of the line to speak volumes for his devotion to his duties while in school. He was number five on that list of graduates, which numbered among its members several other men who have made their mark in the history of the United States Navy, though it remained for George Dewey to eclipse all who had preceded him on the honor roll of the American Naval Register. This was in 1858, and the following two years found him cruising in the Mediterranean sea on the Wabash, with a captain who after- ward left the service of the United States to enter the navy of the Confederacy. It was during this period that he visited the Holy Land, and from there sent home to his aged grandsire an olive wood cane, which the old gentleman carried and prized to the day of his death, which occurred a few years later in Vermont. 14 Life of George Dewey. In i860 George Dewey was ordered back to Annapolis for examination for a commission, and succeeded so well as to advance him in class standing over two of his fellows, giving him a final rating of number three. On April 19, 1861, he was commissioned a Lieutenant, and from 1861 to 1863 served on the stearn sloop Missis- sippi of the West Gulf squadron. He took part in the capture of New Orleans in 1862, and also of Port Royal in 1863. He subse- quently served on the gunboat Agawam, of the North Atlantic squadron and participated in two attacks on Fort Fisher in 1 864 and 1865. Was promoted to be Lieutenant Commander March 3, 1865, and a year later became executive officer of the famous gunboat Kearsarge, which destroyed the Alabama. He also served on the frigate Colorado, flagship of the European squadron. On returning to the United States, in 1868, he was detailed for duty at Annapolis, where he remained two years. In 1870 he was assigned to the com- mand of the Narragansett, and on April 13, 1872, he was commis- sioned as Commander. From 1872 to 1875 Commander Dewey served on the Pacific Survey. He became Lighthouse Inspector in 1876, and was Secre- tary to the Lighthouse Board from 1877 to 1882, being at this time assigned to the command of the Juniata, of the Asiatic squadron. Two years later he was promoted to be a Captain, and took com- mand of the Dolphin, and afterwards of the Pensacola, flagship of the European squadron. In 1888 Captain Dewey was detailed as Chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, with the rank of Commodore. His commission as a Commodore, however, was not issued to him until February 28, 1896. Was a member of the Light- house Board again from 1893 to 1895, being transferred to Board of Inspection and Survey immediately thereafter, and in 1896 and 1897 he was President of this latter important department of the naval service. During the summer of 1897 George Dewey's health, which was not of the best while on shore duty, began to fail him, and, as he was fast approaching the age limit for the active service of the Navy, he was urged by his friends to take another cruise for the Life of George Dewey. 15 benefit of his health. There are many interesting tales told regard- ing his assignment to the command of the squadron then in Asiatic waters. One of them is to the effect that his assignment was strenu- ously opposed by some of those high in authority, and that it was only when his friend of a lifetime, the Hon. Senator Redfield Proc- tor, called on President McKinley and made a personal request that Dewey be thus assigned that the orders were issued which eventually brought fame to the Hero of Manila Bay and success to the Ameri- can Navy unparalleled in the history of naval warfare. The assign- ment to the command of the Asiatic squadron was issued from the Navy Department at Washington, November 30, 1897, and one month later the coming Rear Admiral raised his pennant over the flagship Olympia at Hong Kong, China. And here he was found when the cowardly destruction of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, stirred the hearts of the great American people, and roused within their usual peace- ful breasts a fire of resentment for the insult offered by Spain to the emblem of civil and religious liberty which could only be quenched by a declaration of war. All the efforts of Spain and her American allies in Congress and out could not remove from the American mind the belief that the great sacrifice of human life in the harbor of Havana was a premeditated and murderous crime, committed with the full approval of some of the authorities at least represent- ing the Kingdom of Spain, and when the President of the United States, sent to George Dewey the order to proceed at once to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet in Asiatic waters he little anticipated how thoroughly and well that order would be obeyed. Carrying out his instructions to the letter was one of George Dewey's char- acteristics, and the measure of discipline to which he had ever yielded a ready acquiescence himself he was just as certain to exact from others round him. But while he was firm and exacting as a commander no one ever accused him of unfairness or injustice. And when the shadows of war began to hover over the American and Spanish nations. Commodore Dewey began making preparations for the struggle which, with his keen sense of diplomacy and per- i6 Life of George Dewey. ception, he could see was well-nigh inevitable. His ships were made ready for the fray, and when the vessels of his victorious fleet entered the Bay of Manila on that eventful night of April 30, it was after more than one month of careful preparation. In a letter to his dear sister at Montpelier, written just before he sailed on his still hunt for the fleet of Spain, he said: "I believe we shall make short work of the Spanish reign in the Philippines." And it now remains, at the time of this writing (November i, 1898) for the American Peace Commissioners in session at Paris to make good the word so prophetically spoken by George Dewey late in the month of April, 1898. Another sentence in the same letter is worthy of repioduction here: "I believe I am not over-confident in saying that, with the force under my command, I could enter the Bay of Manila, capture or destroy the Spanish squadron, and reduce th6 defenses, in one day. ' ' After receiving his orders from the President to proceed, he wrote: "I am thankful we have now received our orders. We have got them (the Spanish fleet) where we want them, and we will ,now fix them." And fix them he did in earnest — how well, the story of the Battle of Manila, elsewhere told with more of detail, only too vividly portrays. His prophesied limit of time to one day he reduced to an actual time of less than four hours of fighting, and within twelve hours from the time the first vessel of his fleet passed the batteries at the entrance to Manila Bay he had literally "captured or destroyed the Spanish squadron," and planted Old Glory on the ramparts above the fortress at Cavite on Spanish soil. And there she floats to-day, now, as ever, the sign of freedom from the yoke of the oppressor, and the emblem of human liberty. There may she ever float is the fervent wish of the writer, who believes he voices the sentiment of all true Americans. After the battle of May i, George Dewey found himself con- fronted with a peculiar condition of things in the Philippines. The attention of other nations was at once attracted to the desirability of sharing in the spoils of conquest, if spoils there were to be, and the warships of several nations were headed for the Philippine waters. Representatives of Germany in particular seemed inclined CAl'T. F.[)WARD DEWEY, 3778. MRS. MARY P. (dEWEY) GREELtY, 378O. Life of George Dewey. 17 to rather take sides with the Spanish authorities, and there were at times apprehensions lest some violation of the treaty of neutrality- might lead to serious results. The Emperor's brother, Prince Henry, who represented his government at Hong Kong, called on Admiral Dewey to say good-bye as the American fleet was about to leave Chinese waters for Manila. U. S. Consul Wildman and Captain Gridley, of the Olympia, were on the quarter deck of the flag- ship in conversation with the Commodore and the Prince. The Prince said laughingly to the three, but looking Dewey in the eye: "I will send my ships to Manila to see that you behave." With that perfect grace and dignity for which the Admiral is noted he courteously replied : "I shall be delighted to have you do so, your Highness; but permit me to caution you to keep your ships from between my guns and the enemy. ' ' The Prince saw the point, and he knew full well from that moment that George Dewey meant just what he said, and that it would not be well for any one to interfere with him in his dealings with Spain or the Spanish fleet. Nor was this by any means the only difficulty which presented itself. The natives of the Philippine Islands were little else than savages, and had imbibed just enough of civilization from the Anglo-Saxon race to inspire them with hatred for the oppression Spain had put upon them, and had been engaged in an herculean struggle for their own liberty for many years. But at the time of the entrance of George Dewey to Manila Bay their cause had been a well-nigh hopeless one. Their acknowledged chieftain had been expelled from the islands, and was an exile to foreign lands. But with the victory of the Americans on May r , acting under the advice of Consul ' Wildman, this Fillipino chieftain, Aguinaldo by name, was returned to his native land, and at once began active co-operation with Admiral Dewey against the Spanish forces still in possession of a large part of the island group. These native insur- gents were armed from the captured stores of Cavite arsenal, and at once began aggressive movements against their common enemy. DEWBV — 2 1 8 Life of George Dewey. So successful were they in every battle that they soon became a menace to the Americans themselves. Many of the chiefs among the natives believed they were entitled to all the fruits of the Spanish defeat, and organized a provisional government of their own, and demanded recognition from the United States authorities. To handle such an element without serious trouble required the skill of a statesman and trained diplomat ; yet the man who, thus far in his life, had confined his energies very largely to a study of the art of warfare at once rose equal to the occasion, and the masterly exhibition of diplomacy displayed by George Dewey has com- manded the admit ation of the world. At the present writing no clash has taken place. The Admiral has felt compelled to curb the natives in a few instances, but his authority has been recognized readily, and no losses of life or serious difficulties have occurred. In all the emergencies which have arisen the man has arisen to the emergency. In a word, George Dewey has demonstrated an ability as a statesman and diplomat only equaled by his display of ability as a fighter and naval commander, and few indeed are there among all our public servants so well entitled to be considered "an all 'round man." In a letter to his^ sister written a few weeks after the battle of Manila Bay, the Admiral used these words: "Just a line to thank you for your kind letter of April 6th, and also for your prayers for my safety. Perhaps they did help; who knows? " And here we find illustrated the true citizen and the trusty warrior in one and the same person. Amid the din of battle or in the retirement of his quiet cabin, George Dewey is ever the same courte- ous gentleman and sincere friend. The life of George Dewey has not yet been written. His has been an eventful career, and during his threescore years, forty of which have been spent in the active service of his country, he has traveled wide, and ha^ come in contact with the greatest minds in all the world. , And there are many who now believe that in reality he has but just entered upon his larger career of usefulness, and predict for him still higher honors at the hands of the American people. And who can tell ? The childhood shows the man As morning shows the daj'. ' ' — Milton. UCH has been said and written of George Dewey as a man and as an officer in the Navy, but little attention has been given to those years of his life when character was being formed and when the foundations were laid upon which in after years was builded the manly qualities and noble attributes found to-day in the Hero of Manila Bay. While searching for data concerning the child-life of George Dewey the author addressed a letter of inquiry to Mrs. Mary P. Greeley, of Montpelier, Vt., a sister, and through her has been able to discover what seems to be a most important factor in influencing the career of the b'oy, the youth and the man in the years since passed. As has already been stated elsewhere, our hero lost his mother at the tender age of five, and his father, a country doctor, found [19] [20] Life of George Dewey. 21 himself called upon to take the place of both father and mother to his orphaned children. His leisure hours were always spent with his little ones, entertaining them now, instructing them again, and ever seeking to guide them, by speech or song, in the path of honor and duty. George was termed his ' ' little hero, ' ' and many an hour sat upon his father's knee and listened to song or story till his very soul seemed stirred by the recital to its utmost depths. One song more than any other appeared to interest the little listener. It was a tale of the woes and misfortunes of a little child like himself, but whose life was made doubly sad and lonely by the absence of his father in the Navy, defending his country's flag. Following are the words of the song : The Poor Little Child of a Tar. In a little blue garment, all ragged and torn, With scarce any shoes to his feet; His head all uncovered, a look quite forlorn, And a cold, stony step for his seat — A boy cheerless sat, and as travellers passed, With a look that might avarice bar, " Have pity," he cried, " let your bounty be cast On a poor little child of a tar. " No mother have I, and no friends can I claim, Deserted and cheerless I roam ; My father has fought for his country and fame, But, alas, he may never come home. " By cruelty driven from a neat, rural cot, Where once in contentment she dwelt, No friend to protect her, my poor mother's lot, Alas ! too severely she felt. " Bowed down by misfortune. Death called her his own, And snatched her to regions afar; Deserted and friendless I was then left to roam. The poor little child of a tar." 22 Life of George Dewey. Thus plaintive he cried, when a traveller who passed Stopped a moment to give him relief; He stretched forth his hand, and a look on him cast, A look full of wonder and grief. " What, my Willie," he cried, " m}- poor little boy, At last I've returned from the war. Thy sorrows shall cease, nor shall grief more annoy The poor little child of a tar. ' ' As the song progressed tears would fill the eyes of the little sympathizer, and in his anxiety lest the ' ' poor little child of the tar " should suffer, he would interrupt the song to suggest means for relieving his distress. But the climax was reached when the father returned from the war and found his destitute child, and young George would fairly dance for glee to think that the child's suflEeiings were at an end. This song always left a deep impression on our hero's mind, and he would talk about it for hours at a time. And who shall say that right here was not laid the foundation for the desire which in the later years inspired George Dewey, the youthful student, to seek admission to the Naval Academy at Annap- olis, and in the still later years gave to the world its most eminent and truly great naval commander ? George Dewey the child was active and playful, impetuous and fond of outdoor sports, yet tender and sympathetic. As a youth, manly, studious, fond of reading, music and those associations which elevate and inspire to acts of heroism and noble deeds. And here is his loving sister's tribute to his character as a man in her own words: " And now lie is a quiet gentleman of finest feelings, thoughtful, kind and loyal. Not so effusive as many persons, but sincere. A friend to trust in time of trouble. ' ' And what higher measure of praise can be imagined? The world is filled with men just as loyal and just as brave as George Dewey ; but few men possess all the qualities which go to make the all 'round man so clearly illustrated in his life from childhood till threescore years of age. "Thus plaintive he cried, when a traveller who passed ' Stopped a moment to give him relief; He stretched forth his hand, and a look on him cast, A look full of wonder and grief. ' ' [23] A LIVELY SCHOOLBOY. " Who mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth." — Goldsmith. SEORGE DEWEY, like many another man who achieved greatness before the end of his allotted span, in his young days was as boyish a boy as he is now found to be a manly man. Many are the tales of his boyhood to illustrate these characteristics. Early in the fifties when yet a boy of not more than fourteen years, he is said to have been a thorn in the flesh of each succeeding teacher of the district school, in which he was' first at the rule of three. The "rule of three" in this instance, however, was the rule of George Dewey and two other of the larger boys who seemed to take delight in making life a burden to their tutor. There came a time, how- ever, when they met their match. Major C. K. Pangborn, now a resident of New Jersey, and for thirty years editor of the Jersey City Evening Journal, being then fresh from college, accepted the not enviable position of teacher to the Montpelier district school. The anti-teacher brigade, of which Dewey was the recognized leader, had been in rebellion for a long time and are said to have driven out several of the instructors who had the temerity to undertake their government. When Mr. Pangborn appeared at school the first day of the session he is said to have noticed the future hero of Manila up in a tree throwing stones at small boys. Pangborn told him quietly that he must stop that, as such conduct could not be tolerated. In reply the teacher was told to go to , naming a place reserved for a certain class of departed mortals, but Dewey did not come down. School went smoothly enough that day, but the shrewd pedagogue could see that trouble was brewing, so he provided himself with a nice raw-hide whip which he tucked away over the door and then placed several cuts of good hickory on top of the pile in the old wood box. [24] Life of George Dewey. 25 At the close of school on the second day the boys decided to have some sport with their new instructor. It was winter time, ^nd there were several feet of snow on the ground. They decided to lay in ambuscade, and hied themselves to a meeting-house, which stood near the school, the belfry of which the boys were accustomed to enter and ring the bell for want of something else to do. Young George was the accepted captain of the company, and placed one detachment of his force in the belfry, armed with well-packed snow- balls, while the others were stationed at convenient positions to come out at the proper moment and reinforce the attack of the battery in the belfry. The teacher's appearance was the signal for perfect silence. As he approached the church, entirely unconscious of the hot reception prepared for him by the boys, he was greeted with a volley of snowballs from the church tower. At a signal from their leader his comrades closed in on the victim. It was a short, sharp battle, but the boys seemed to have the best of it, and the teacher finally gave it up and beat a hasty retreat. During the scrap, however, several of the boys were handled roughly by the pedagogue, and the bolder ones, who came within reach of his strong arms, went down head over heels in the deep snow. During this engagement at close range the future admiral was on top of the schoolmaster, but managed to keep out of his clutches. Early on the third day the fun commenced. Another boy who was disorderly, was ordered to take his seat. He did so and nearly all of the big boys in the school, Dewey among the number, joined him on the bench. Then the boy, whose daring entrance to Manila Bay electrified the world, stepped up and coolly informed the teacher that they were going to give him the best licking he ever had in all his life. "You take your seat, sir!" commanded the teacher. He was a smaller man physically than either of the larger boys men- tioned. Dewey's fist struck out, but missed its mark,- and the next instant the rawhide was winding about his legs, head and ears, in cyclone fashion. The other "biggest boy" entered the contest and was as promptly laid low by a blow from one of the hickory sticks. By BATTLE WITH SNOWBALLS AT THE OLD CHURCH. [26] Life of George Dewey. 27 tljis time Dewey was stretched out full length on the floor, his fighting ardor sub- dued and appealing for mercy, while the other boy who had assisted to help him "lick the teacher" lay near him, quite unconscious. The rebellion was over and Mr. Pangborn had the school to the end of the term without further trouble. At the close of school that day, Dewey was taken home to his father by the teacher, who presented him to his fond parent with the statement that he had brought him his sou ' ' somewhat the worse for wear, but still in condition for school work. ' ' "Thank you, sir," replied the dignified Doctor Dewey; "I guess 28 Life of George Dewey. George will not give you any more trouble. He will be at school to-morrow the same as usual, ' ' and he was. The father of the other boy tried to get a warrant for the arrest of the school master, but no magistrate could be found in the county who would issue one. Everybody said that if any man had been found who could govern that school, he was the man for the place. Then came the reform of the Dewey boj'^, and he soon became the best scholar in the school. Under his inspiration and admo- nition, the other boys also fell into line, and the Montpelier district school became as famous in after years for its studious and orderly attendance, as it had once been notorious for its want of study and lack of discipline. Years after these events, George Dewey was wont to visit Major Pangborn at his home in Boston, where the former teacher was for a time editor of the old Atlas and Bee. On one of these visits, he said to his former tutor, "I shall never cease to be grateful to you. You made a man of me. But for that thrashing you gave me in Montpelier, I should probably have been in state prison ere this. ' ' Dewey was at this time a young lieutenant in the navy and a chum of Major Pangborn's brother, who was also a naval ofl&cer. The two spent much time at Major Pangborn's home, and Dewey is always spoken of as "one of our boys." This is the first recorded instance in which the future Admiral of the Navy was ever beaten in battle, and recent events warrant the prediction that it will be the only one. GEORGE DEWEY's FIRST CRUISE. ANECDOTES OF BOYHOOD DAYS. " He was not merely a chip of the old block, but the old block itself." — Burke. 1 \OR a great many years the first day of Legislature in Vermont rH was a gala day in the Capital City. People came there \. from miles around. Circus crowds were no comparison. Gingerbread and sweet cider took the place of the peanut and pink lemonade of to-day. On these occasions the boys of other towns came along to test their muscle with local youths. George Dewey always took a prominent part and retired invariably with flying colors. Adventure upon adventure the hero of Manila was in. It had become the custom for the older people to say on hearing of some remarkable feat of daring or skillful trick, " Well, that Dewey rascal is at it again." The saying " a boy will be a boy " has true application to George Dewey. He had time for all kinds of pranks, yet there was no brighter boy in school than he, and at the age of thirteen, when attending the old Montpelier Academy, was study- ing Latin and Greek roots. His father had always wished to have him enter the Army, and sent him to Norwich University, a military training school, for that purpose. But the lad's eyes were on the sea, and he teased his father so much that his scruples against the Navy were overcome, and through his influence secured for him a cadetship in the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, when he was in his seven- teenth year. George Dewey was a great boy to do things no other boy dared. One of these was to remain under water while swimming. One of the future Admiral's chums had beaten his record, and he started out to make a new one. The swimming basin was in the Winooski River, formerly called the Onion River, because of the wild onions [29] 30 Life of George Dewey. that grew on its banks, at the head of Main Street in Montpelier. Dewey dove under the water and remained there so long a howl went up from his companions that he had been drowned. Several men rushed into the river, and after fishing around pulled him out. His face was purple. The first thing he inquired after getting his breath was if he beat the other fellow. He was also the means of saving one of his companions while swimming. He was always adventuresome. He was never happy unless up to something or other. He drove a horse and wagon across the ford about a quarter of a mile below his father's house when the stream was swollen and the current like a mill-race. He whipped up the horse, and when in the middle of the stream had to leave the wagon and crawl out on the horse's back to save his life. In this manner he reached the shore some distance below the ford. His clothes were soaked with water and he went to bed directly on reaching home. When the doctor returned from making a professional call he went upstairs to reprimand him. " H-m," said the doctor in angry tones, "what does this mean ?" " You ought to be thankful that I am alive," sobbed the future Admiral under the bed-clothes. This touched the doctor, for he dearly loved the boy. He patted the little fellow's head and turned away. The affair was never referred to again. Another favorite pastime of young Dewey was to run down the State House steps blindfolded. The distance is over loo yards, with small terraces intervening, making it very dangerous. A single miscalculation would mean a broken head or limb. Dewey never missed the gate. The crowning feature of the whole adventure was to walk so straight that he would not bump against the high iron fence. OF ROYAL DESCENT " This was the noblest Roman of them all." — Shakespeare. IN an interesting letter on the subject of George Dewey's ancestry, Mr. C. H. Browning, who lives at Ardmore, Pa., states that, while it will not add a particle to the everlasting fame which has been brought to his surname through the heroism and tact dis- played at the Battle of Manila, yet it is agreeable to know that he is, in a genealogical point of view, no upstart, and that, on the con- trary, he can match ancestors with any one who may come along, and can back up his assertions with statements bearing on his claims fotind in Browning's "Americans of Royal Descent," Douglas' "Peerage of Scotland," Dugdale's "Baronage of England," Ander- son's "Royal Genealogies, " "The Magna Charta Barons and their American Descendants, ' ' and the other big guns of his genealogical armament. "Admiral Dewey's pedigree begins on the very border of mythology with Thor, the Saxon God, or cult-hero, who, according to the ancient Saxon chronicles and Snorra Edda of the Saxons, was the ancestor in the nineteenth or twentieth generation of another cult-hero, who is almost a myth, called variously Vothinn, Othinn, Odin, Bodo and Woden, the King of the West Saxons, A. D. 256- 300, who with his spouse, Frea, were the Mars and Venus of Saxon mythology. This King Woden, the God of war, is described as the great-great-grandfather of the bugaboos of English history, Horsa and Hengst, brothers, freebooters and pirates, of whom the Saxon annals tell us that Hengst was the King of Saxons, and died between A. D. 474 and 495, first King of Kent. "Leaving this progenitor of the Saxon rulers of Britain, Admiral Dewey's royal lineage passes along the royal Saxon line on the continent, though King Hengst's son, Prince Hartwaker, to the [31] 32 Life of George Dewey. historic King Dieteric, and his 'famous' wife (he had others), Dobrogera, a daughter of the unique character, Belluhg, King of the Worder. Their grandson, Witekind the Great, was the last King of the Saxons, A. D. 769-807, and then dwindled into only their Dukes, and Dukfe of Westphalia, while his descendants for a few generations were only Counts of Wettin, until on the genealogical line we come to the great Robert — Robert-fortis — who, by his sword, became Count of Anjou and Orleans, Duke and Marquis of France, and won the hand of the fair Lady Alisa, sister-in-law to the King of the Francs, Lothary L ' ' This hero of medieval history, Robert-fortis, the great-grandson of the great "Witekind, was the founder of the so-called Capuchin line of monarchs of France, for from him, through a line of Dukes of France and Burgundy, Counts of Paris, etc., who by their swords and intermarriages became firmly seated on French soil, was descended the celebrated Hugh Capet, Duke of France, who usurped the throne of France and supplanted Charles, Duke of Lorraine, the heir of Louis d'Outremere, or King Louis IV, the last Carlovingian, or descendant of the great Emperor Charlemagne, to occupy the 'French' throne. " 'Tis said 'blood will tell.' How true it is in Dewey's case. The blood of the finest warriors of history tells in him. He inherited the 'knack of knowing' when to do it and how to do it, and is the peer of any of his ancestors from Hengst to Hugh Capet, yet unconsciously he emulated the traits of many of them. "Two other Kings of the Capuchin line — Robert the Pious and Henry the First — Dewey numbers among his illustrious ancestors, and Gibbon, in his history of the Roman Empire, tells us of the high lineage of one of his early ancestresses, Anne of Russia, wife of Henry I, of France. Gibbon states rhat she was the daughter of Jaroslaus, Grand Duke or Czar of Russia, A. D. loi 5-105 1, who was a descendant of Basil, the Macedonian, first Emperor of Constanti- nople, of his line, A. D. 867, and that Basil was descended, on his father's side, from the Aracides, the rivals of Rome, possessors of the scepter of the East for 400 years ; through a younger branch of ^twt"^ Life of George Dewey. 33 the Parthian monarchs, reigning in Armenia; and on his mother's side, from the European Constantine the Great, and Alexander the Great, the Macedonian. "All these illustrious historic characters were Dewey's forbears, and so also were many others, he nor any orie can ever be proud of. But genealogy, like politics, 'makes strange bedfellows.' He was born to these — good, bad and indififerent ancestors — they have been discovered for him, not manufactured, and of their attributes he has inherited the best, so it appears. "Continuing Dewey's pedigree, we find that one of his ancestors — the one necessary to connect him with these historic characters — was the son of King Henry I of France, Hugh the Great, Duke of France and Burgundy, Marquis of Orleans and Count of Paris, and through his wife. Count of Vermandois and Valois, a noted man of his day. "It is here that Dewey's pedigree leaves the Continent and begins to be a part of English history. Dewey's ancestress, Lady Isabel de Vermandois, was the daughter of the aforesaid Hugh Magnus,^ and was the first wife (he was her first husband) of Robert de Bellomont, or Beaumont, a Norman, Earl of Millent, who accompanied William of Normandy on his expedition to England, and for the part he took in the conquest was created in 1 103 Earl of Leicester and granted many manors in England, dying in 1 1 18. He had issue by Lady Isabel, Robert Bossu de Bellomont, 2d Earl of Leicester, who was justiciary of England, and dying in 1168, had issue by his wife. Lady Amelia or Amicia, a daughter of Ralph de Waer, or Waher, who in 1066 was the Earl of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge, but forfeited these earldoms in 1074; Robert-blanch- Mains, third Earl of Leicester and steward of England, whose daughter, Lady Margaret de Bellomont, was an ancestress of Admiral Dewey. "This lady married Saher de Quincey, an English baron, created in 1207 by King John to win him over to his side. Earl of Win- chester. This baton accepted and enjoyed the honors conferred on him by John, but never was friendly to him. On the contrary, he 34 Life of George Dewey. ■was, next to Fitz Walter, the leader of the insurrectionary barons, and did as much work as any of them to compel King John to grant the Magna Charta — the charter of liberty — and was one of the twenty -five sureties chosen to enforce its observance. It is through this baron that Dewey is eligible to membership in the Order of Runnymede. ' ' Turning now to the pages of the Scottish peerage books, we learn that this Earl of Winchester's granddaughter, Elizabeth de Quincey, was the wife of Alexander de Comyn, second Earl of Buchan, who was a descendant of Donalbane, King of Scots, which gives Dewey a 'strain' of the sturdiest sort. And reverting again to the English peerage, we find that Gilbert, Baron d'Umfraville, married Lady Agnes, a daughter of the aforesaid Elizabeth, Countess of Buchan, and was the progenitor of a line of Umfravilles to Lady Joan d'Umfraville, who married Sir William Larabert, Knt., Lord of Owl- ton Manor, in Durham. From the authentic pedigrees of the oflScial Heralds of England we learn that a great-granddaughter of this marriage was the wife of Thomas Lyman, Gent, of NavisLoke, in Essex, who died in 1509, and the mother of Henry Lyman, of High Ongar, in Essex, who was the ancestor of that Richard Lyman, of' High Ongar Manor in 1580, who came to the Massachusetts Colony in 1 63 1 and died in 1640 at Hartford, Conn., of which city he was one of the founders and earliest lot owners. "His son, Richard Lyman's (of Windsor, Conn., died in 1662) daughter, Hepzibah, married November 6, 1662, Josiah Dewey (who was baptized October 10, 1641, and was the son of Thomas Dewey, the first of this surname to come to the New World — to Boston, Mass., in 1630) and they were the parents of Josiah, Jr., born December 24-; 1666, who was the lineal ancestor of our gallant hero.

" One of the few, the immortal names, That were not born to die. ' ' — Halleck. IN England no person is permitted to use a coat of arms or heraldic device to which he is not entitled, and offenders are punished by either fine or imprisonment. In the middle ages coats of arms were considered as hereditary marks of honor. They consisted of certain fixed figures and colors conferred by sovereign princes at first, and generally as a reward for military achievements ; but subsequently also in recognition of some signal public service not necessarily of a military character, and served to denote the descent and alliance of the bearer. These marks of honor are called ' ' arms' ' from their being principally and at first only worn by mili- tary men in war and at tournaments, who had them depicted on their shields. As these devices were embroidered upon coats worn over the armor they were called "coats of arms." A knight's coat of arms and crest was his distinction from others, and was guarded as his honor. Elsewhere in this book appear four colored plates, showing the royal arms of the Lyman, Lambert, Osborne and Dewey families in England. Following are the technical descriptions of the same, as given in an established authority on heraldry : The Lyman Arms. Arms. — Per chevron, gu. and ar. ; in base an annult of the first. Crest. — A demi-bull, ar. ; attired and hoofed, or. langued gu. Motto. — "Quod Verum Tutum." These are the arms of Hepzibah Lyman, daughter of Richard Lyman, of Windsor, Conn., of royal descent, and who married Josiah Dewey the first, the lineal ancestor of Admiral George Dewey. [37] 38 Life of George Dewey. The Lyman-Lambert-Osborne Arms. Arms in tlie quarterly. — One and four, Lyman, as above. Lam- bert 2. — Gu., a chevron between three lambs. Osborne 3. — Quarterly erm., and gTi., over all a cross or. The Lambert arms were used by the family of Elizabeth Lambert, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Lambert, and who was married to Thomas Lyman about 1488, bringing large estates into the family, and greatly strengthening its connection with royalty. The Osborne arms were those of Sarah Osborne, wife of Richard Lyman, who came to America in 1631, and was the grandfather of Hepzibah Lyman, who married Josiah Dewey. The arms shown in the quarterly of sixteen figures are used by the descendants of any one of the fourteen families represented, most of them being in the Royal line from Charlemange to Lyman. Following are the names of families, numbering from left to right across the chart: i, Lyman; 2, Trethewy; 3, Lambert; 4, Cresey; 5, Lambert; 6, Pickering; 7, Umfraville; 8, Torington; 9, Angus; ID, Berkelej'^; 11, Rodam; 12, Hyde; 13, Girard; 14, Scott; 15, Osborne ; 16, Lyman. The crest and motto are those of the Lyman family. The Dewey Arms. The arms of the Dewey family are very old. Edward Wilkins Dewey, of New York city, while searching for records of the Dewey family among the archives of the British Jtluseum, discovered an old parchment book on Heraldry, evidently written before the time of the printing press, in which he found the following : Dewe : (Bucks). — Sa. on a fess between three dragon's heads erased or., langued gu., as many cinquefoils of the field. Crest. — A dragon's head between two wings expanded sa., on each a cinquefoil or. This description is probably the original coat of arms given to the family which was at that time located in Bucks county. The interpretation of the above is as follows : — Arms. — The shield is sable (black) with a gold fess (band) run- ning across it horizontally, on which are three black cinquefoils (or '* Life of George Dewey. 39 five-leaved clover); above the fess are two dragon's heads erased (forcibly torn off, leaving the separated parts jagged and uneven) and one under also erased. All three of gold and langued gu. (with red tongues). Crest. — A dragon's head between two wings expanded sa. on each a cinquefoil or. In other words the dragon's head and wings are black, and on each is a cinquefoil of gold. Motto. — "Corona Veniet Delectis," which means: "A crown will come to those deserving it." This motto has not been found among the records of any established authority on this subject, and may be said to be a tradition of the American family. Mr. Sherman Dewey, in a record written in 1 795 , gives this motto as being handed down to him by his forefathers, and it is undoubtedly correct. In Burke's Heraldry we find a later description of the arms of the Dewey family in Norfolk county, England, as follows : Dewy. — Sa. on a fess argent, between three dragon's heads erased or. , as many cinquef oils of the field. The difference being that the fess is of silver instead of gold, and the dragon's tongues are of the same color as the heads, gold. This shows the connection between the Dewe family of Bucks county, and the Dewy family of Statfield, in Norfolk county. There are several other arms, but of a later date, given to one family in Kent, described as follows : Dewe. — Gu. a chev. ar. between nine plates, five and four. Arms given to a family of Dewe or D'Ewes, of Stowlangtoft, bart., which was extinct in 1736, are as follows: "Or. a fess vair between three quatrefoils gu." Another is ' ' Dewey. — Ar. a pile gu. ' ' All are now extinct in England. The Dewey arms shown in this book are said to have belonged to one Simeon Dewey, claimed by some to have been the father of Thomas Dewey, who came to America with the Rev. Warham in 1630. Simeon Dewey was created a Baronet of Stow Hall in 1629. & BOTH JOY AND SORROW. " Peace hath its victories No less renowned than war." — Milton^ " To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die." — Campbell. NE and thirty years ago, then a lieutenant and seasoned officer in the navy, George Dewey was stationed for a time at the Kittery Navy Yard, just across the river from Ports- mouth, N. H. He was a handsome and popular fellow, and a wel- come visitor in the honaes of those old-fashioned and highly cul- tured families which made up the somewhat exclusive society of the place, and which do to-day, not only in Portsmouth, but in New- buryport and Salem and all along the " north shore." It was here that Lieutenant Dewey first met the sweet-faced little woman who afterward became his wife. She was Miss Susie Good- win, a daughter of doughty old Ichabod Goodwin, the war Governor of New Hampshire, and known far and wide as " Fighting Gov- ernor Goodwin. " In his way Governor Goodwin was a popular hero in the early days of the civil war, quite as much as is his dis- tinguished son-in-law to-day. Like many another of the ' ' war Gov- ernors' ' of the North, Ichabod Goodwin was an old school Democrat of the Jackson stripe. Nullification or secession he could not stand, and when President Lincoln's first call for volunteers came and found the New Hampshire Legislature not in session, the loyal old Governor put his hands deep into his pockets and at his personal expense fitted out a regiment of fighting men and sent them to the front, trusting to the honor of the people of New Hampshire to reimburse him at the proper time. "Fighting Governor Goodwin" was known far and wide those days ; village streets were named in bis honor, likewise babies galore ; and to this day the old Portland, Saco and Portsmouth locomotive ' ' Governor Goodwin, ' ' thirty years [40] GEORGE DEWEY AT 30. MRS. GEORGE DEWEY (DECEASED), 3779- Life of George Dewey. 41 old or more, goes puffing and snorting along the shore road which connects Portsmouth with points east and west. Two gallant naval officers were generally supposed to have been rivals for the heart and hand of Susie Goodwin. They were Lieu- tenant Dewey and Commander Rhind, the latter then preparing for a cruise in foreign waters as commander of the Narragansett. The calls of the one alternated with those of the other, and the dear old gossips in Portsmouth society wondered what would be the outcome of it all. The lieutenant, however, won his suit. Commander Rhind sailed away in his fine old ship and Lieutenant Dewey and Miss Goodwin were married. It is now recalled that the odds were against the older and more dignified officer because, in addition to the greater favor which the young lieutenant had won in the eyes of the young woman, there was the aid which was thrown into the balance by her father, the ' ' Fighting Governor. ' ' "George is sort of reckless sometimes," the old gentleman once remarked,' "but hang me if I can help liking him. He's honest and full of grit, and he'll be heard from one of these days." Lieutenant Dewey and Miss Susie Goodwin were married October 24th, 1867, and following the wedding a reception was held in the fine old Goodwin homestead, which is still standing on one of the quiet, elm-shaded streets of Portsmouth, and occupied by members of the Goodwin family. Shortly after their marriage the young couple were compelled to separate for a time, Lieutenant Dewey having been ordered to sea. For two years he was on the European Station, his wife remaining in Portsmouth. Returning to America he was, oddly enough, assigned to the command of the Narragansett, relieving his former rival. Commander Rhind. The one great sorrow of his life came just a little later. This was in 1872. He had been promoted to be Commander and luck seemed to be running strongly his way. The young wife was spending a summer in Newport, and preparations were being made for an event which it was hoped would crown with joy their wedded life. A son was born December 23d, but a week later the mother died. The boy was christened George Goodwin, in honor of his proud grandfather. A LOVING SISTER'S TRIBUTE. "The sweeter sound of woman's praise. — Macauley. ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY is blessed above most men in the possession of an unusually loving and admiring kindred. His sister, Mrs. Mary P. Greeley, of Montpelier, Vt., tells many pleasant anecdotes of her own childhood with " brother George. ' ' Their mother died when George was but five years old, and his sister Mary but two years bis junior, and the children were, for this reason, much to each other. In a letter to the author Mrs. Greeley speaks particularly of how full of life and fun her brother was, and although somewhat addicted to tbe babit of playing truant from school, bis lovable traits of character and noble qualities out- weighed any tiling that could be said against bim. " When George was eleven years old," said Mrs. Greeley, " some one gave bim the story of Hannibal crossing tbe Alps. He never tired of reading this book, and one morning, taking me for a body- guard, he started on the snow crust to climb the steep hill ju^t back of the State House, imagining himself Hannibal, and he never gave up until he reached the summit. " George was a great actor, and used to have a theatre in the carriage-house at father's bam. A buffalo robe was the drop- curtain, five pins was charged for admission to the performance, and a peanut stand was in evidence. I believe the plays were mostly high tragedy, in which George always took a prominent part. " I remember at one time the star actress, a little girl my own age, could not appear, and George called on me to take her place. I was frightened and told him I could not think of a thing to say. He replied, ' Well, make it up as you go along, then. The perform- ance must go on.' And the performance did go on to the end. [42] Life of George Dewey. 43 " George was very apt to get into trouble with boys older than himself. He was always crazy to be around where cannon were fired on festival days. I remember one Fourth of July, when he was eight years old, he was so anxious to be near a cannon that was being fired on the Common that his eyes were blown full of powder and it was thought at the time he would be disfigured for life. " George was always- a good boy, generous, brave and fearless. There was nothing cowardly about him. If I could tell all of his thoughtfulness when we were boy and girl together, it would fill a book. ' ' IN A NUTSHELL. " Brevity is the soul of wit." — Shakespeare.

His health was not ^^ of the best, and he thought sea duty would restore it. His companions at the Metropolitan Club in Washington gave him a rousing send-ofif at a banquet, where the following song was sung. It was written by Col. Archibald Hopkins, Clerk of the Court of Claims : Fill all your glasses full to-night, The wind is off the shore; And be it feast or be it fight, We pledge the Commodore. Through days of storm, through days of calm, On board Pacific seas, At anchor off the Isles of Palm, Or with the Japanese. Ashore, afloat, on deck below. Or where our bulldogs roar. To back a friend or breast a foe, We pledge the Commodore. We know our honor'll be unstained, Where'er his pennant flies. Our rights respected and maintained, Whatever power defies. And when he takes the homeward tack, Beneath an Admiral's flag. We'll hail the day that brings him back, And have another jag. [46] Life of George Dewey. 47 To which Col. Hopkins has added the following stanza since the Battle of Manila : Along the far Philippine coast, Where flew the flag of Spain, Our Commodore to-day can boast, " 'Twill never fly again."

'Twas on the first of May When Dewey led the way Into Manila Bay, And faced the foe; Our hero was aware Of all the perils there — But what did Dewey care, When told to go ? Entering the Bay. 'Tis now the dead of night, There's not a star in sight. Our ships bear not a light On either side; The waves roll gently by, The breezes gently sigh A peaceful lullaby Unto the tide.

Each seaman holds his breath, And all is calm as death — Save that now travaileth The laboring screw; 'Tis God alone doth know What fancies strange do grow, What visions come and go Now 'mong the crew. But hark ! that loud report — It comes toward our port — They're firing from the fort — They've seen our sparks ! Their challenge we defied, And quickly we replied — A volley from our side Soon stopped their barks. With boldness nigh divine, On steamed our gallant line — Defying fort and mine — Heroically; At last they reached the Bay, Our colors flying gay. All ready for the fray — To win or die. The Battle Morn. The Spaniards' blood ran cold, Their wrath they could not hold. To see the Yankee bold So early there ; Ere rose the morning sun The battle had begun, When loud the foeman's gun Rang through the air.

' ' Beware Of entrance to a quarrel ; but, being in, Bear it that the opposed may beware of thee." — Shakespeare. M R. J. L. STICKNEY, formerly an officer in the United States Navy, but now a correspondent for the New York Herald, was on board the Admiral's flagship, and volun- teered as his aide during the battle. The proffered service was accepted, and that gentleman received honorable mention by the Admiral in his official report of the battle to his government at Washington. Mr. Stickney sent to his paper the following account of the naval victory: , Manila, Phillipine Islands, on board the flagship Olympia, May I, via Hong Kong, Saturday, May 7. — Not one Spanish flag flies in Manila Bay to-day. Not one Spanish warship floats except as our prize. More than two hundred Spanish dead and five hundred to seven hundred wounded attest to the accuracy of the American fire. Commodore Dewey attacked the Spanish position at Cavite this morning. He swept five times along the line and scored one of the most brilliant successes in modern warfare. That our loss is trifling adds to the pleasure of victory without detracting from its value. The number of hits our vessels received proved how brave and stubborn was the defense made by the Spanish forces. Miraculous as it may appear, not one of our men was killed, and only eight were wounded. Those who were wounded suffered only slight injuries. Commodore Dewey arrived off Manila Bay last night and decided to enter the bay at once. [54] THE OLYMPIA LEADING THE LINK. T?1E OLYMPIA PASSING CORREGIDOR. THE WARNING ROCKET. Life of George Dewey. 55 With all its lights out the squadron steamed into Bocagrande, with crews at the guns. This was the order of the squadron, which was kept during the whole time of the first battle : — THE FLAGSHIP OLYMPIA. THE BALTIMORE. THE RALEIGH. THE PETREL. THE CONCORD. THE BOSTON. The flagship passed Corregidor Island without a sign being given that the Spaniards were aware of its approach. Not until the flagship was a mile beyond the Corregidor was a gun fired. Then one heavy shot went screaming over the- Raleigh and the Olympia, followed by a second, which fell further astern. The Raleigh, the Concord and the Boston replied, the Concord's shells exploding apparently exactly inside the shore battery, which fired no more. Our squadron slowed down to barely steerage way and the men were allowed to sleep alongside their guns. Commodore Dewey had timed our arrival so that we were within five miles of the city of Manila at daybreak. We then sighted the Spanish squadron, Rear Admiral Montojo commanding, off Cavite. Here the Spaniards had a well equipped navy yard called Cavite Arsenal. Admiral Montojo's flag was flying on the 3, 500 ton protected cruiser Reina Christina. The protected Catilla, of 3,200 tons, was moored ahead, and astern to the port battery, and to seaward were the cruisers Don Juan de Austria, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, Quiros, Marquis del Onero and General Lezox. These ships and the flagship remained under way during most of the action. With the United States flag flying at all their mastheads, our ships moved to the attack in line ahead, with the speed of eight knots, first passing in front of Manila, where the action was begun by three 56 Life of George Dewey. batteries mounting guns powerful enough to send a shell over us at a distance of five miles. The Concord's guns boomed out a reply to these batteries with two shots. No more were fired, because Commodore Dewey could not engage with these batteries without sending death and destruc- tion into the crowded city. As we neared Cavite two very powerful submarine mines were exploded ahead of the flagship. This was at six minutes past five o'clock. The Spaniards evidently had misjudged our position. Immense volumes of water were thrown high in air by these destroyers, but no harm was done to our ships. Commodore Dewey had fought with Farragut at New Orleans and Mobile Bay, where he had his first experience with torpedoes. Not knowing how many more mines there might be ahead, he still kept on without faltering. No, other mines exploded, however, and it is believed that the Spaniards had only these two in place. Only a few minutes later the shore battery at Cavite Point sent over the flagship a shot that nearly hit the battery in Manila, but soon the guns got a better range, and the shells began to strike near us or burst close aboard from both the batteries and the Spanish vessels. The heat was intense. Men stripped off all clothing except their trousers. As the Olympia drew nearer all was silent on board as if the ship had been empty, except for the whirr of blowers and the throb of the engines. Suddenly a shell burst directly over us. From the boatswain's mate at the after 5 -inch gun came a hoarse cry. "REMEMBER THE MAINE!" arose from the throats of five hundred men at the guns. This watchword was caught up in turrets and firerooms, wherever seaman or fireman stood at his post. SHELL BURSTING OVER THE OLYMPIA. V'/jm^yfT'-s ' JUM, . CHEERING GEORGE DEWEY DURING INTERMISSION FOR BREAKFAST. Life of George Dewey. 57 " Remember the Maine ! " had rung out for defiance and revenge. Its utterance seemed unpremeditated, but was evidently in every man's mind, and now that the moment had come to make adequate reply to the murder of the Maine's crew, every man shouted what was in his heart. The Olympia was now ready to begin the fight. Commodore Dewey, his chief of staff, Commander Lamberton, and aide and myself, with Executive Ofiicer Lieutenant Rees and Navigator Lieutenant Calkins, who conned ship most admirably, were on the forward bridge. Captain Gridley was in the conning tower, as it was thought unsafe to risk losing all the senior officers by one shell. "You may fire when ready, Gridley," said the Commodore, and at nineteen minutes of six o'clock, at a distance of 5,500 yards, the starboard 8-inch gun in the forward turret roared forth a compliment to the Spanish forts. Presently similar guns from the Baltimore and the Boston sent 250-pound shells hurtling toward the Castilla and the Reina Christina. The Spaniards seemed encouraged to fire faster, knowing exactly our distance, while we had to guess theirs. Their ship and shore guns were making things hot for us. The piercing scream of shot was varied often by the bursting of time fuse shells, fragments of which would lash the water like shrapnel or cut our hull and rigging. One large shell that was coming straight at the Olympia's forward bridge fortunately fell within less than one hundred feet away. One fragment cut the rigging exactly over the heads of Lamberton, Rees and myself. Another struck the bridge gratings in line with it. A third passed just under Commodore Dewey and gouged a hole in the deck. Incidents like these were plentiful. Our men naturally chafed at being exposed without returning fire from all our guns, but laughed at danger and chatted good humoredly. A few nervous fellows could not help dodging mechanically when shells would burst right over them or close jg Life of George Dewey. board, or would strike tlie water and pass overhead, with the peculiar spluttering roar made by a tumbling rifled projectile. Still the flagship steered for the centre of the Spanish line, and, as our other ships were astern, the Olympia received most of the Spaniard's attention. "Open with all guns," said Dewey, and the ship brought her port broadside bearing. The roar of all the flagship's 5 -inch rapid firers was followed by a deep diapason of her after turret 8-inchers. Soon our other vessels were equally hard at work, and we could see that our shells were making Cayite harbor hotter for the Spaniards than they had made the approach for us. Protected by their shore batteries and made safe from close attack by shallow water, the Spaniards were in a strong position. They put up a gallant fight. The Spanish ships were sailing back and forth behind the Castilla, and their fire, too, was hot. One shot struck the Baltimore and passed clean through her, fortunately hitting no one. Another ripped up her main deck, dis- abled a 6-inch gun and exploded a box of 3-pounder ammunition, wounding eight men. The Olympia was struck abreast the gfun in the wardroom by a shell which burst outside, doing little damage. The signal halyards were cut from Lieutenant Brumby's hand on the- after bridge. A shell entered the Boston's port quarter and burst in Ensign Dodridge's stateroom, starting a hot fire, and fire was also caused by a shell which burst in the port hammock netting. Both these fires were quickly put out. Another shell passed through the Boston's foremast just in front of Captain Wildes, on the bridge. After having made four runs along the Spanish line, finding the chart incorrect, Lieutenant Calkins, the Olympia's navigator, told the Commodore he believed he could take the ship nearer the enemy, with lead going to watch the depth of water. The flagship started Life of George Dewey. 59 over the course for the fifth time, running within two thousand yards of the Spanish vessels. At this range even 6-pounders were effective, and the storm of shells poured upon the unfortunate Spanish began to show marked results. Three of the enemy's vessels were seen burning and their fire slackened. On finishing this run Commodore Dewey decided to give the men breakfast, as they had been at the guns two hours with only one cup of coffee to sustain them. Action ceased temporarily at twenty -five minutes of eight o'clock, the other ships passing the flagship and the men cheering lustily. Our ship remained beyond range of the enemy's guns until ten minutes of eleven o'clock, when the signal for close action again went up. The Baltimore had the place of honor in the lead, with the flagship following and the other ships as before. The Baltimore began firing at the Spanish ships and batteries at sixteen minutes past eleven o'clock, making a series of hits as if at target practice. The Spaniards replied very slowh;-, and the Commodore signaled the Raleigh, the Boston, the Concord and the Petrel to go into the inner harbor and destroy all the enemy's ships. By her light draught the little Petrel was enabled to move within one thousand yards. Here, firing swiftly, but accurately, she com- manded everything still flying the Spanish flag. • Other ships were also doing their whole duty, and soon not one red and yellow ensign remained aloft, except on a battery up the coast. The Spanish flagship and the Castilla had long been burning fiercely, and the last vessel to be abandoned was the Don Antonio de UUoa, which lurched over and sank. Then the Spanish flag on the Arsenal staff was hauled down, and at half -past twelve o'clock a white flag was hoisted there. Signal was made to the Petrel to destroy all the vessels in the inner harbor, and Lieutenant Hughes, with an armed boat's crew, set fire to the 6o Life of George Dewev. Don Juan de Austria, Marquis Duero, the Isla de Cuba and the Correo. The large transport Manila and many tug boats and small craft fell into our hands. "Capture or destroy Spanish squadron," were Dewey's orders. Never were instructions more effectually carried out. Within seven hours ^TTJT/T^'- ..- , after arriving on the ' W\'/-^ scene of action noth- \. ing done, THE OLYMPIA S FIGHT WITH TORPEDO BOATS DURING THE BATTLE. OFFICIAL REPORT OF BATTLE. " We have met the enemy, and they are ours." — Oliver H. Perry. THE newspaper reports of the Battle of Manila were both sensational and apparently accurate ; yet thousands of the American people could hardly believe such a complete victory, with so insignificant a loss to the American fleet, possible, and the official report of Rear Admiral Dewey was awaited with unusual interest. At last it came, greatly to the relief of an anxious people and of the officials at Washington. We give the report in full: Flagship Olympia, May i,, 1898. * * * The squadron left Mirs Bay on April 27th. * * * Arrived off Bolinao on the morning of April 30th, and finding no vessels there, proceeded down the coast and arrived off the entrance to Manila Bay on the same afternoon. The Boston and Concord were sent to reconnoitre Port Subic. * * * A thorough search of the port was made by the Boston and the Concord, but the Spanish fleet was not found. * * * Entered the south channel at 11 :30 p. m., steaming in column at eight knots. After half the squadron had passed, a battery on the south side of the channel opened fire, none of the shots taking effect. The Boston and McCulloch returned the fire. The squadron proceeded across the bay at slow speed and arrived off Manila at daybreak and was fired upon at 5: 15 A. M. by three batteries at Manila and two near Cavite, and by the Spanish fleet anchored in an approximately east and west line across the mouth of Baker Bay, with their left in shoal water in Canacao Bay. The squadron then proceeded to the attack, the flagship Olympia, under my personal direction, leading, followed at distance [61] 62 Life of George Dewey, by the Baltimore, Raleigh, Petrel, Concord and Boston, in the order named, which formation was maintained throughout the action. The squadron opened fire at S : 41 A. M. While advancing to the attack, two mines were exploded ahead of the flagship, too far to be effective. The squadron maintained a continuous and precise fire, at ranges varying from 5,000 to 2,000 yards, counter-marching in a line approximately parallel to that of the Spanish fleet. The enemy's fire was vigorous but generally ineffective. Early in the engagement two launches put out toward the Olympia with the apparent intention of using torpedoes. One was sunk and the other disabled by our fire and beached, before an opportunity occurred to fire torpedoes. At 7 A. M. the Spanish flagship Reina Christina made a desperate attempt to .leave the line and come out to engage at short range, but was received with such galling fire, the entire battery of the Olympia being concentrated upon her, that she was barely able to return to the shelter of the point. The fires started in her by our shells at this time were not extinguished until she sank. * * * The three batteries at Manila had kept up a continuous report from the beginning of the engage- ment, which fire was not returned by this squadron. The first of these batteries was situated on the south mole head, at the entrance to the Pasig river. The second on the south bastion of the walled city of Manila and the third at Malate, about one-half mile further south. At this point I sent a message to the Governor-General to the effect that if the batteries did not cease firing the city would be shelled. This had the effect of silencing them. At 7:35 A. M. I ceased firing and withdrew the squadron for breakfast. At 11 : 16 A. M. returned to the attack. By this time the Spanish fiagship and almost the entire Spanish fleet were in flames. At 12 : 30 p. M. the squadron ceased firing, the batteries being silenced and the ships sunk, burnt and deserted. At 1 2 : 40 p. M. the squadron returned and anchored off Manila, the Petrel being left behind to Life of George Dewey. 63 nomplete the destruction of the smaller gunboats, which were behind the point of Cavite. This duty was performed by Commander E. P. Wood, in the most expeditious and complete manner possible. The Spanish lost the following vessels: Sunk — Reina Christina, Castilla, Don Antonio de UUoa ; burnt — - Don Juan de Austria, Isle de Luzon, Isle de Cuba, General Lezo, Marquis del Duero, El Correo Velasco and Isla de Mindanao (transport) ; captured — Rapido and Hercules (tugs) and several small launches. I am unable to obtain complete accounts of the enemy's killed and wounded, but believe their losses to be very heavy. The Reina Christina alone had one hundred and fifty killed, including the captain, and ninety wounded. I am happy to report that the damage done to the squadron under my command was inconsiderable. There were none killed and only seven men in the squadron slightly wounded. * * * Several of the vessels were struck and even penetrated, but the damage was of the slightest, and the squadron is in as good condition now as before the battle. ' I beg to state to the department that I doubt if any commander- in-chief was ever served by more loyal, efficient and gallant captains than those of the squadron now under my command. Captain Frank Wildes, commanding the Boston, volunteered to remain in command of his vessel, although his relief arrived before leaving Hong Kong. Assistant Surgeon Kindleberger, of the Olympia, and Gunner J. C. Evans, of the Boston, also volunteered to remain after orders detaching them had arrived. The conduct of my personal staff was excellent. Commander B. P. Lamberton, chief of staff, was a volunteer for that position and gave me most efficient aid. Lieutenant Brumby, flag lieutenant, and Ensign W. P. Scott, aide, performed their duties as signal offi- cers, in a highly creditable manner. The Olympia being short of officers for the battery. Ensign H. H. Caldwell, flag secretary, volunteered for, and was assigned to a sub-division of the five-inch battery. Mr. J. L. Stickney, formerly 64 Life of George Dewey. an officer in the United States Navy, and now correspondent for the New York Herald, volunteered for duty as my aide, and rendered valuable services. I desire specially to mention the coolness of Lieutenant C. G, Calkins, the navigator of the Olympia, who came under my persona observation, being on the bridge with me throughout the entire action, and giving the ranges to the guns with an accuracy that was proven by the excellency of the firing. On May 2, the day following the engagement, the squadron agair went to Cavite, where it remains. * * * On the third, the mili tary forces evacuated the Cavite arsenal which was taken possessior of by a landing party. On the same day the Raleigh and Baltimore secured the surrendei of the batteries on Corregidor Island, paroling the garrison anc destroying the guns. On the morning of May 4, the transpon Manila, which had been aground in Baker Bay, was towed off an: made a prize. GEORGE DEWEY. To a representative of a New York paper, who interviewee Admiral George Dewey on board the flagship Olympia one montl after the smoke of battle had cleared away, that greatest of all nava heroes gave his own version of the battle as follows : "This battle in Manila Bay was fought in Hong Kong Harbor That is, the hard work was done there ; the execution here was no difficult. "With the co-operation of the officers of the fleet, my plans wen carefully studied out there, and no detail omitted. Anj'- man whi had a suggestion to offer was heard, and if it was a good one it wa adopted. After the indications of war were so strong that i appeared inevitable, I devoted my time and energies to makini every preparation possible. "When we left Hong Kong and anchored in Mirs Bay, outsid of the neutrality limits, I had determined upon my line of actioi When we left there, a few days later, we sailed away ready for battle and expecting it as soon as we reached the neighborhood of Manila Life of George Dewey. 65 ' ' From that hour of departure until we drew out of action Sun- day morning, May i, after destroying the Spanish squadron, we practically did not stop the engines of our ships. We came directly across from the China post to that of Luzon, headed down toward the entrance of Manila Bay, reconnoitered Subig Bay, where it'had been rumored we would find the enemy, made the entrance to Manila, passed Corregidor Island by the south channel in the dark- ness of the night and steamed across the bay close to Manila, where at break of day we discovered the Spanish fleet off Cavite. "Signaling to prepare for action and follow the flagship, I gave orders to steam past the enemy and engage their ships. The result you can see by looking at the sunken vessels in the harbor. "Every ship and every man did his duty well, and the marvel of it all is that not one man on our side was killed or even seriously injured. The only harm inflicted on the ships was of a trivial nature, although the Spaniards kept up a lively fire until their gun decks were no longer out of water and they had no men to man the guns. ' ' The Spanish Admiral and officers and crew fought bravely and deserve credit for their valor, but all their vessels were either destroyed or sunk, with a loss of several hundred killed and nearly as many wounded. ' ' The battle was fiercely contested as long as it lasted, but the superiority of our fleet and ships, guns, men and markmanship soon won for us the victory. " >H- THE FLEETS COMPARED. " Thrice armed is he that hath his quarrel just ; And he but naked, though clad in armoured steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted." — Shakespeare. WHILE this is in no sense a history of the war with Spain, a few of the details regarding that portion of it in which George Dewey played so important a part will not be out of place here. It has been said by some unfriendly critics that the Spanish forces were greatly overmatched in the Battle of Manila, and it is well that there should be no misunderstanding on that point — well for us of the present, and more so for the genera- tions yet unborn. Commodore Dewey's fighting force consisted of seven vessels, and was accompanied by two transports with supplies and ammunition. The following statement of facts will be of interest here : Fleet Officers : Commodore George Dewey, Commander-in-Chief ; Commander B. P. Lamberton, Chief-of -Staff ; Lieutenant L. M.

Dewey. 73 The Spanish Admiral had seven cruisers, five gunboats, two tor- pedo boats ;■ fifty-two classified big guns ; eighty-three rapid-firers and machine guns, and one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight men. It cannot be denied that the Americans had a greater number of heavy guns and that their ships were of more modern construction ; nor must it be overlooked that the Spanish fleet was much more numerous, and that it had the immense assistance of protecting forts manned with strong garrisons and mounting an unknown number of guns, of whose calibre and force the most terrible tales had been circulated by the Spanish press and officials. That the Spaniards were outclasseq is true ; but, though it may sound paradoxical, that the odds were with them and against the Americans is equally true. The superiority of George Dewey's fleet was not in number of boats or men, nor the size or number of his guns. It was the superiority of his gunners as marksmen ; the advantage gained by practice and skill, coupled with Yankee ingenu- ity, and the long and wise head of the American commander, which made his victory possible, and raised the standing of the American navy to that of a first-rate power among the navies of the world. Had the positions been reversed, the Spaniards having the Ameri- can boats and guns, and George Dewey in command of the vessels and guns which were pitted against him, the result would have been the same — the Americans would surely have been the victors. THE BATTLE WAS HARD FOUGHT. " Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him who first cries ' Hold, enough.' " — Shakespeare. WNDER date of May 8, 1898, one week after the battle, Mr. Henry G. Ladd, a correspondent of the New York Journal, cabled from Hong Kong the following message, which forms an interesting chapter in the record of events already described : " Judging from comments cabled back here, there seems to be an impression that the Battle of Manila was not hard fought. There never was a more unjust mistake. That the Spaniards were no match for our men is true, but they did their best, in many cases fighting their ships long past the point where surrender would have been justified. They served their guns on some ships while the vessels were burning under them, and more than one crew went down with their ship rather than abandon a hopeless fight. " When the American fleet began its deadly circling, the Reina Cristina steamed out alone to attack the Olympia. All the Olym- pia's battery was concentrated on the opposing flagship, and at the close range nearly every American shot found its mark. In the face of this terrible fire the Reina Cristina advanced. She hit the Olympia too. The Olympia was hit thirteen times. " Dewey fought this fleet from the roof of the pilot house of /the Olympia, and Captain Lambertson stood beside him. They were entirely Afrithout protection. The Reina's fire cut away the forward rigging of the Olympia, and a six-inch shell shot away the signal halliards, four feet above the Admiral's head. Admiral Montojo showed just as much bravery. While his flagship was advancing in the teeth of the storm of iron from the Olympia he stood on the bridge of the Reina Cristina beside Captain Cadarso. When the [74] Life of George Dewey. 75 Reina turned to go back an eight-inch shell struck her, wrecking her engines and exploding one of her magazines. She was a mass of flame and in imminent danger of total destruction, but the Span- ish Admiral and his Captain stood as calmly on the bridge, in the midst of this hell, as though their movement was part of a naval parade. " An eight -inch shell from the Olympia hit the bridge, fairly shooting it from under the Admiral, and killing Captain Cadarso. " It was not until then that Montojo transferred his pennant to the Castillo, and on that wooden ship continued the fight until the Castillo was aflame from stern to stern. " The fight made by the Don Antonio was even more heroic. Her hull was riddled, but she fought to the last, and went down with her flag still flying and her crew still aboard. With the Reina Cristina gone, the Don Antonio down, and the Castillo a plume of flame, a desperate attempt was made to destroy the Olympia. ' ' Two torpedo boats shot out from the cover of the smoke. It was a move of ghastly daring. There was not one chance in a thousand that they could avoid discovery, and discovery was death. They were within 800 yards of the flagship when Dewey signalled to concentrate all the batteries on them. For an instant the water about the needle-like torpedo boats danced and dimpled like the surface of a pond in a rainstorm. Still they came on, while the big American cruiser flamed and roared from every steel throat that could be turned toward her darting, dancing assailants. An eight- inch shell struck the first one full in the centre, exploded, and broke the ship like a straw. Down went both sections, the bow and the stern pointing straight up as the divided boat sank with all on board. The second had her pilot house shot away. The shot turned her head toward the beach, and, either because they could not steer her, or because they wanted her destroyed rather than permit her to become k prize to the Americans, her crew ran her on the beach. When it became obvious that the Spanish fleet was doomed, a final effort was made to cripple the American squadron by sinking our 76 Life of George Dewey. supply ships, the idea being that the Yankees must have more ammunition before they could fight the forts. The two transports lay far in the rear, guarded only by the revenue cutter McCuUoch. A small gunboat tried to reach the transports while the remainder of the fleet was at the farthest point of the circle from them. Dewey, from the Olympia's pilot house, saw the manoeuvre and comprehended its terrific import. He signalled, and all the ships that had free batteries in range fired on the Spanish forlorn hope. The McCuUoch would have been almost a match for the gunboat. Of course, the Spaniard was driven back with hull riddled and upper works shattered. The most picturesque feature of the battle was the air of unconcern with which the Americans went through it. " There were seven men on the Boston's bridge with Captain Wildes. Seven shells passed over the bridge. One passed not more than two feet above their heads and burst beyond them, but so close that the base plug of the projectile was driven back on board. " During all this time Captain Wildes stood with his glasses in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other, and a cigar between his lips. ' ' Paymaster Martin made and served coffee during the whole engagement. " The little Petrel is the proudest ship of the fleet. They have christened her the ' little battleship. ' Her light -draught enabled her to get close to the forts and the navy yard, and Captain Woods ran her fearlessly into the worst of it. The wonder is that she escaped unscathed. " When the Baltimore was sent to lead the second attack she came nearer to destruction than any vessel of the fleet. Her orders were to silence the shore batteries. She went ahead at full speed, directly across the bay. Her speed saved her, for she passed over two mines. " Just beyond her two mountains of water rose and burst, one on either side. " The mines exploded within 100 yards of her. She was not ■°2 n a a » o P n s (1) r* o iVO c O 1 Life of George Dewey. 77 damaged, but the waves from the explosions chased her, and she rolled and plunged in her onward course. She missed total destruc- tion by less than three seconds. " Thirty minutes after the Baltimore started at the head of the line every gun on shore and every Spanish ship, save the Don Antonio de UUoa, had either been sunk, burned, or had retreated behind the arsenal. ' ' The Ulloa, with all her upper works shot away and her decks swept with shell at every broadside from the American fleet, kept on fighting doggedly with her lower guns. She fought until she was cut to pieces, and then went down with all her crew. The Petrel, Concord, and Boston were sent to destroy whatever ships were in the navy yard, but the Boston, after twice running aground, left this work to her lighter draught companions. After this work had been done only the transport Manila remained above water. All the Others that had not been destroyed by the Americans had been burned by their crews. " The Olympia was hit thirteen times, eight of the shots touch- ing her hull, but doing no damage. Two shells of the eight that hit the Baltimore pierced her hull. Six of the Baltimore's crew were slightly injured by the explosion of a shell on her deck, but were not so seriously injured as to quit fighting until the engage- ment was over. Five million dollars would not pay the Spanish loss on ships and forts. At least 400 Spaniards were killed, and twice as many were wounded. LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE VICTORY. " I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start." — Shakespeare. TO a newspaper correspondent, who asked for his ideas of the lessons to be learned from the victory of May i, Admiral ■ Dewey replied : " The first lesson of the battle teaches the importance of Ameri- ' can gunnery and good guns. " It confirms my early experiences under Admiral Farragut, that combats are decided more by skill in gunnery and the quality of the guns than by all else. ' ' Torpedoes and other appliances are good in their way, but are entirely of secondary importance. " The Spaniards, with their combined fleet and forts, were equal to us in gun power. But they were unable to harm us because of bad gunnery. " Constant practice made our gunnery destructive and won the victory. " The second lesson of this battle is the complete demonstration of the value of high grade men. Cheap men are not wanted, are not needed, are a loss to the United States Navy. " We should have none but the very best men behind the guns. It will not do to have able officers and poor men. The men in their class must be the equal of the officers in theirs. We must have the best men filling all the posts on shipboard. ' ' To make the attainments of the officers valuable we must have, as we have in this fleet, the best men to carry out their commands. " The third lesson, not less important than the others, is the necessity for inspection. Everything to be used in a battle should have been thoroughly inspected by naval ofl&cials. [78J Life of George Dewey. 79 " If this is done there will be no failure at a crisis m time of dan- ger. Look at the difference between our ships and the Spanish ships. " Everything the Spaniards had was supplied by contract. Their shells, their powder, all their materials, were practically worthless, while ours were perfect." HONORED BY CONGRESS. " How shall we rank thee upon glory's page ? Thou more than soldier, and just less than sage ? " — Moore. WHEN tlie victory of Manila Bay fully dawned upon the minds of the American people, there was an unanimous call from press and pulpit for some prompt and official recognition for George Dewey and his gallant associates. President McKinley responded to this popular feeling with the following message to Congress : To the Congress of the United States : On the 24th of April I directed the Secretary of the Navy to tele- graph orders to Commodore George Dewey, of the United States Navy, commanding the Asiatic squadron, then lying in the port of Hong Kong, to proceed forthwith to the Philippine Islands, there to begin operations and engage the assembled Spanish fleet. Promptly obeying that order, the United States squadron, consist- ing of the flagship Olympia, the Baltimore, the Raleigh, the Boston, the Concord and the Petrel, with the revenue cutter McCulloch as an auxiliary dispatch boat, entered the harbor of Manila at day- break on the I St of May and immediately engaged the entire Span- ish fleet of eleven ships, w hich were under the protection of the fire of the land forts. After a stubborn fight, in which the enemy suffered great loss, these vessels were destroyed or completely dis- abled, and the water battery of Cavite silenced. Of our brave offi- cers and men not one was lost, and only eight injured, and those slightly. All of our ships escaped any serious damage. By the 4th of May Commodore Dewey had taken possession of the naval station at Cavite, destroying the fortifications there and at the entrance of the bay and parolling their garrisons. The waters of the bay are under his complete control. He has established hos- [80] MAP SHOWING DEWEY's ROUTE FROM MIRS BAY TO MANILA.

Life of George Dewey. 8i pitals within the American lines, where 250 of the Spanish sick and wounded are assisted and protected. The magnitude of this victory can hardly be measured by the ordinary standards of naval warfare. Outweighing any material advantage is the moral effect of this initial success. At this unsur- passed achievement the great heart of our Nation throbs, not with boasting nor with greed of conquest, but with deep gratitude that this triumph has come in a just cause, and that by the grace of God an effective step has thus been taken toward the attainment of the wished-for peace. To those whose skill, courage and devotion have won the fight, to the gallant commander and the brave officers and men who aided him, our country owes an incalculable debt. Feeling as our people feel and speaking in their name, I at once sent a message to Commodore Dewey, thanking him and his officers and men for their splendid achievement and overwhelming victory, and informing him that I had appointed him an Acting Rear Admiral. I now recommend that, following our National precedents and expressing the fervent gratitude of every patriotic heart, the thanks of Congress be given Acting Rear Admiral George Dewey, of the United States Navy, for highly distinguished conduct in conflict with the enemy, and to the officers and men under his command for their gallantry in the destruction of the enemy's fleet and the cap- ture of the enemy's fortifications in the Bay of Manila. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. Executive Mansion, May 9, 1898. The message was received by both Senate and House with marked enthusiasm, and, acting on the suggestion of the President, the fol- lowing joint resolution was introduced and unanimously passed by a rising vote, every member standing : ' ' Joint resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Commo- dore George Dewey, U. S. N., and to the officers and men of the squadron under his command. " Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that in pursuance 82 Life of George Dewey. of the recommendation of the President, made in accordance with the provisions of section i lo of the Revised Statutes, the thanks of Congress and of the American people are hereby tendered to Com- modore George Dewey, U. S. N., commander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, for highly distinguished conduct in conflict with the enemy as displayed by him in the destruction of the Spanish fleet and bat- teries in the harbor of Manila, Philippine Islands, May i , 1^98. ' ' Section 2. That the thanks of Congress and the American people are hereby extended through Commodore Dewey to the officers and men under his command for the gallantry and skill exhibited b)' them on that occasion. "Section 3. Be it further resolved that the President of the United States be requested to cause this resolution to be communi- cated to Commodore Dewey and through him to the officers and men under his command. ' ' But the official recognition of George Dewey did not stop with the adoption of these resolutions. Senator Hale of Maine at once intro- duced, and the Senate unanimously passed, a bill increasing the number of Rear Admirals in the Navy from six to seven, and the President immediately promoted Acting Rear Admiral Dewey to the rank of Rear Admiral. Not to be outdone by the Senator from New England in any meas- ure of honor to the hero of Manila Bay, Senator Quay of Pennsyl- vania proposed that a jeweled sword be presented by the govern- ment to Commodore Dewey, and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts responded by offering for adoption the following resolution : "That the Secretary of the Navy be and he is hereby authorized to present a sword of honor to Commodore George Dewey, and to cause to be struck bronze medals commemorating the battle of Manila Bay, and to distribute such medals to the officers and men of the ships of the Asiatic squadron of the United States, under com- mand of Commodore George Dewey on May i, 1898, and that to enable the Secretary to carry out this resolution the sum of $10,000 is hereby appropriated. ' ' This resolution was also agreed to without debate. At the time Life of George Dewey. 83 of sending the first edition of this book to press both sword and medals ^re in process of manufacture. The foregoing resolution was placed in the hands of one of the most expert of the many engrossing clerks employed by the Depart- ment of State, and, after several weeks of painstaking labor, was finally forwarded to Rear Admiral Dewey on July 24, 1898. The resolution was beautifully embossed and prefaced by a formal attestation of its authenticity by Secretary of State Day, the whole being enclosed in richly gilt and ornamented Russia covers. It is to be remarked that Secretary Long, in his letter of transmis- sion, makes reference to a letter from the Secretary of State compli- menting Admiral Dewey upon his direction of affairs, since the great naval victory, a formal evidence that the State Department is thoroughly well satisfied with the diplomatic qualities he has exhibited. The letter of Secretary Long is as follows : "The Navy Department, Washington, July 24, 1898. — The department has received from the Secretary of State an engrossed and certified copy of a joint resolution of Congress, tendering the thanks of Congress to you and the officers and men of the squadron under your command, for transmission to you, and herewith encloses the same. "Accompanying the copy of the joint resolution the department received a letter from the Secretary of State requesting there be conveyed to you his high appreciation of your character as a naval officer, and of the good judgment and prudence you have shown in directing affairs since the date of your great achievement in destroy- ing the Spanish fleet. I take great pleasure in doing this, and join most heartily on behalf of the Navy Department, as well as person- ally, in the commendation of the Secretary of State. "JOHN D. LONG. " Rear Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N., Commander-in-Chief United States Naval Forces, Asiatic Station. ' ' When Congress reconvened for the short session in December, 1898, Representative Livingston, of Georgia, introduced the following 84 Life of George Dewey. bill to revive the grade and rank of Admiral of the Navy for George Dewey, as a still further mark of consideration and reward for his services to his country : "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that, to pro- vide prompt and adequate reward to Rear Admiral George Dewey, the grade and rank of Admiral in the United States Navy be, and it is hereby revived, with the same duties, pay and privileges appurte- nant thereto that were by law given to the former appointees to said rank, the said grade and rank to exist only during the lifetime of this officer." The bill was referred to the proper committee for consideration under the rules, and will doubtless become a law ere this book shall reach its readers, early in the year 1899. JEWELED SWORD FROM THE GOVERNMENT. " Once, in the flight of ages past, There lived a man." — James Montgomery. gOON after the Battle of Manila the Congress of the United States passed a joint resolution appropriating the sum of ten thousand dollars, to be used in the purchase of suitable medals and badges of honor for officers and men, and for a special jeweled sword for Rear-Admiral George Dewey, in commemoration of that famous victory. A committee consisting of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, and Professor Oliver, of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, was appointed to receive and report upon competi- tive designs which were invited from all the leading gold and silversmiths in the country. The design of sword sub- mitted by Tiffany & Company, of New York City, was approved, and at the time of sending this book to press the memento was in course of maniifacture. The drawing here- with shown will give an idea of its appearance. A technical description of the sword is not possible here. The top of the hilt is of solid gold, 22 K fine, and this quality of the yellow metal is employed wherever gold is used. Oak leaves, the decoration appropriate to the Admiral's rank, are conspicuous in various parts of the scabbard and hilt, and there are acorns on both of these parts of the memorial. George Dewey was born in the month of December, and it was desired to use his birth-stone, the turquoise, in the jeweling of the sword; but this was found to be imprac- ticable, as the turquoise is easily scratched, and this sword [85J 86 Life of George Dewey. is designed to be useful as well as ornamental. In other respects the sword will be as originally designed. Encircling the top of the hilt will be a wreath of oak leaves. Immediately beneath this will be the gold " collar " of the hilt, as it is technically called. On the front of the collar will be displayed the arms of the United States in gold, and just below will be shown the arms of Admiral Dewey's native State in enamel, with a scroll bearing the motto of Vermont, " Freedom and Unity." Stars will decorate the plain part of the collar, and the grip of the hilt will be of sharkskin, inlaid with stars, and bound with gold wire. The guard of the hilt will be a conventionalized eagle, terminating with a claw that clasps the top of the handle. The eagle's expression is defiant, but a wreath of laurel in its beak indicates that it is peacefully inclined. One wing of the eagle is extended so as to form the broad part of the guard. The scabbard will be ornamented at the top with a monogram formed of the initials " G. D. " in diamonds, and beneath the mono- gram will be the letters " U. S. N." in smaller diamonds. The scabbard will be of thin steel, beautifully damascened in gold with sprays of ros marinus, and with the letter " D " repeated again and again, supplemented with dolphins. The blade will also be damascened, and will bear the following inscription : " The Gift of the Nation to Rear-Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N., in Memory of the Victory at Manila Bay, May i, 1898." The blade will also bear representations of Phoenician galleys, which were the first craft of the world's navies. All of this will be on one side of the blade. The belt mountings and other trappings will be of the regulation pattern, ornamented with oak leaves and acorns. The belt will be of blue enamel and gold, its buckle being adorned with the customary eagle, anchor and stars. The bullion tassel and embroidered straps will be much richer than the ordinary. All of the gold used will be of the same quality as that in the sword itself, and the quantity of this metal required will be 725 penny- weights. This will be the finest sword ever presented by the United States to any of its Army or Navy heroes. COMMENDED BY HIS NEIGHBORS. " There is a tide in the affairs of men." — Shakespeare. MONTPELIER, the home of Admiral Dewey, celebrated the great American victory at Manila by a magnificent public demonstration on May 9 in which 10,000 people partici- pated. The city was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting, and nearly every person wore a badge bearing the inscription: WE didn't DEWEY THING TO SPAIN. The celebration began at two o'clock in the "Golden Fleece," which is the finest auditorium in Vermont, and in which over 2,000 persons assembled on this occasion. The decorations in the hall were very fine. Seated upon the stage were Hon. Charles Dewey and family, Captain Edward Dewey and family. Mayor John H. Senter and the speakers, consisting of Hiram A. Huse, Prof. J. A. De Boer, President A. D. Brown of Norwich University, Northfield, Rev. Andrew Gillies, T. C. O'SuUivan of New York city; Rev. Father O'SuUivan, ex-Mayor George W. Wing, State's Attorney F. A. Howland, and Gen. Stephen Thomas. Patriotic music was furnished by the Montpelier Military Bahd, a chorus of school children and the Arion quartette. Resolutions congratulating Admiral Dewey were passed, and a cable message was sent by Hon. Charles Dewey to his brother, informing him of the honor paid him by his native city. The resolutions follow : Whereas, under the providence of God, and by virtue of the skill, valor and heroisna of its officers and men, the American fleet, under Commodore George Dewey, won a signal and most marvellous victory over the combined forces of Spain in the harbor of Manila, Island of the Philippines, on Sunday, the first morning of May, Eastern time; and, [87] 88 Life of George Dewey. Whereas, this brilliant victory has shed fresh lustre upon the country's naval history, already bright with innumerable great achievements on land and sea, and adds to the glory of the United States, his native State, Ver- mont, and on Montpelier, the city of his birth ; be it, therefore. Resolved: That the city of Montpelier and the neighboring villages and towns, do hereby, with great sincerity, happiness and pride, vote its heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the officers and sailors of the Asiatic squadron, and especially to him, the Commodore, George Dewey, who led them with such ideal success, amid unprecedented obstacles, to a victory, the renown of which will never perish from the earth. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions, attested by the mayor and clerk of the city of Montpelier, and stamped with the city's seal, be for- warded to Admiral Dewey without delay. By the Legislature. The Vermont Legislature, which had been convened in extra- ordinary session by Governor Grout to provide ways and means for supplying that State's quota of troops called for in President McKinley's proclamation, unanimously passed the following reso- lutions, which have now become a part of the history of the com- monwealth : Whereas, The officers and men of the Asiatic squadron, by their victory over the Spanish fleet at Manila, have won the profound gratitude of their countrymen; and their Commodore, George Dewey, has made for himself a place among the world's naval heroes; and. Whereas. Vermont, as the native State of Commodore Dewey, takes special pride in this achievement; therefore. Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives, that the members of the General Assembly, representing the people of Vermont, express to Commodore Dewey and through him to his entire command, their deep appreciation of their signal and timely success, their confidence in his ability to so meet the trying situation at the Philippines as to bring added honor to the United States and greater distinction to himself, and their keen gratifi- cation that the first great honors of the war should fall to a son of Vermont. Resolved, That the promotion of Commodore Dewey, without delay, would be the spontaneous and grateful recognition of a great national service by a brave and great man ; and, further. Resolved, That the clerk be directed to communicate these resolutions to Commodore Dewey as soon as cable communication with Manila is restored, and to transmit copies to the President of the United States and to our Representatives in Congress. PRESENTED WITH FLAGS. " 'Tis the Star Spangled Banner, oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave." — Key. WITHIN a week after the news of victory at Manila reached the United States two of the leading New York news- papers, the World and Journal, arranged to present Admiral Dewey with silk flags as tokens of remembrance and honor. That from the World in particular is deemed worthy of more than a passing notice here. It was designed to be a memento from the wives and widows of the men in America who have made the Nation's history in time of war. The flag as presented contained across its folds of red and white the names of such illustrious women as Julia Dent Grant, Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. J. B. Gordon, Mrs. J. E. B. Stuart, Mrs. Julia King Grady, Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee, Mrs. William T. Sampson, Mrs. Charles D. Sigsbee, and others. Letters from these patriotic women to the paper which managed the presentation were forwardqd to the Admiral with the flag, and a few of them are here reproduced. From the widow of the illustrious General Grant : 2III Massachusetts Ave., May 12th, 1898. You ask me if I am in sympathy with this movement of the ladies to present Admiral Dewey a flag? Of course I am, and would love to see every one of the gallant fellows made Admirals and presented with flags. JULIA D. GRANT. From the widow of Jefferson Davis : New York, May 12. Though I am well aware that no eulogism uttered by an individual could enhance the value of Admiral Dewey's glorious victory before Manila, in response to your invitation to express my opinion of it I can pnlv say every American must feel pride not only in him, but in the officers and men of our fleet whose valor has added another wreath to the laurels won by the American Navy ever since their flag numbered thirteen stars. [89] go Life of George Dewey. The acclaim of his grateful countrymen must ever be a hero's dearest reward, and this guerdon awaits Admiral Dewey and his dauntless men, who have taken a brilliant initiative in achieving the first victory of the war. MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS. From the widow of General Logan : Washington, D. C, May 5, 1898. Commodore Dewey's name is now immortalized, as was that of Perry, in freedom's cause. Brainy, brave and blameless, he has won the first victory over a foreign foe in behalf of men struggling for freedom. If his dauntless fleet needed anything to stimulate them to heroic deeds, the thought of the treachery that sent our proud ship, with so many of her dauntless crew, to the bottom of tne harbor of Havana was all-sufficient. If they needed a talismanic cry, the patriotic Dewey doubtless shouted, " Remember the Maine! " Forty years of faithful service, beginning seriously on board the Missis- sippi, then in the siege of New Orleans, have fitted him well for the deed he has done. Farragut, seeing the Manassas approaching, directed Capt. Melancthon Smith, of the Mississippi, to follow and destroy that famous ram. Young Dewey, participating in the execution of this order, saw the Manassas go down. From cadet to commodore he has won his promotions. With little preparation, and as if it were an incident of his voyage west- ward, he finds the enemy's boasted invincible fleet protected by the frowning guns of Manila's fortifications. He salutes them in thundering tones, and in two brief hours sends some of them to the winds and others to the bottom of the sea. All hail Commodore Dewey! Present him a flag on whose stainless stripes the names of his country- women maybe inscribed, if you will. Their prayers and congratulations will go with their names, and may the Stars and Stripes he has planted on the ramparts of Manila ever wave over that unhappy island as a beacon of light that will guide its long-suffering people into the bright sunlight of Liberty while they cry, " God bless Admiral Dewey! " MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. From the wife of a famous orator and statesman of the South : Atlanta, May 9. It is a great privilege to join my American sisters in evidencing our boundless admiration of the skill and bravery of the officers and men of our glorious navy. It can scarcely be doubted that the flag to be presented to " the most valorous and fortunate ship " will go to Admiral Dewey. His victory at Manila may possibly be equalled in the future, but in the brilliancy and importance of its achievements, without loss, it certainly has no rival in the past history of sea or land conflicts. MRS. J. B. GORDON. Life of George Dewey. 91 From the widow of the beloved Grady : Atlanta, Ga., May 11. In common with every patriotic woman of America, I congratulate Com- modore Dewey upon the luminous page he has added to the annals of the nation's valor on the seas. He stands to-day the foremost Anglo-Saxon of the naval world, and his heroic fight for the land that was helpless until we successfully espoused her cause will live as the Trafalgar of our history. As with Nelson England expected every man to do his duty, so with Dewey "America knows that every man did his duty." The American bloodshed at Manila re-cemented the sections into a Union such as only comradeship in arms can make. As a Georgian, I glory in this victory in which Georgians took part, and I cannot better express my feelings than to wish that my grandson, born while Manila was being bom- barded, may for that reason think of his birthday with the pride a true American should feel at Admiral Dewey's remarkable triumph. The whole South shares your enthusiasm, and yields to no section in its loyal admiration of America's hero. This tremendous success shows that with an American's intrepid courage he combined those rarer qualities of foresight and sagacity, and Georgia and the South to-day congratulate the Union in the possession of such a hero and Cuba in the presence of such a champion. MRS. JULIA KING GRADY. From the wife of Admiral Sampson : Glen Ridge, N. J., May 11. My opinion can have no value, as it cannot differ from the opinion of every other American citizen who rightly understands what reason we have to be proud of the alert, prompt daring of our navy. And we are proud of our sailors as well as of our commanders. Our pride in Admiral Dewey does not have its beginning, however, at Manila. Those who know him need not have been wise men to prophesy what he would do. ELIZABETH BURLING SAMPSON. ' From Mrs. Charles D. Sigsbee: Philadelphia, May 11. In regard to The World's presentation of a flag to Admiral Dewey as a token of appreciation of his bravery I will say that the news of the brilliant victory at Manila fills all our hearts with joy. His. brave and decisive action makes this one of the most remarkable battles of history. This, the initial engagement of the war, is an augury of future successes. I rejoice with the whole country that none of our men were killed and only six were wounded. ELIZA ROGERS SIGSBEE. From the wife of General Fitzhugh Lee : Richmond, Va., May 10. It always gives me pleasure to know that the services of our brave sea- men are appreciated and recognized. ELLEN BERNARD LEE. NORWICH UNIVERSITY. " 'Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined." — Pope. NORWICH University, of Northfield, Vt., sometimes called "the nursery of heroes," which has always been poor and struggling, never having had a cent of endowment, was founded in 1819 by Capt. Alden Partridge. He was graduated from West Point in 1806, served there as professor of mathematics and of engineering, and in 18 16-17 ■^^•S in command of the academy. A man of arbitrary will and independent views, he became at odds with his superiors, and in 18 18 resigned his commission. Then he established at Norwich, Vt., his birthplace, the "American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy," which retained this name until 1834, when it was incorporated Norwich University. Its buildings at Norwich were destroyed by fire in 1866, and the uni- versity was removed to Northfield, Vt., on account of inducements offered by the citizens of the latter place. Capt. Partridge was presi- dent of the institution until 1843, and was succeeded by Col. Truman B. Ransom, who resigned his chair to command the Ninth (New England) Regiment in the war with Mexico. The latter fell at the head of his regiment in the assault on Chapultepec, his last words being, "Forward, the Ninth." Another president for many years was the Rev. Dr. Edward Bourns, recalled by old graduates as "Teddy" Bourns, who had previously been a professor in Hobart College, and was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin. Of Norwich University it may be said, as Daniel Webster said of Dartmouth, "It is a small college, but there are those who love it," and its record in the country's military and naval annals is one of which its alumni may well be proud. Gen. Sherman, in paying a public tribute to one of its cadets, spoke of "Norwich University, [92] Life of George Dewey. 93 then, as since, a college of great renown, ' ' and said : ' ' This mili- tary school at one time almost rivaled the National Military Academy at West Point, and there many a man who afterwards became famous in the Mexican war and civil war drank in the inspiration of patriotism and learned the lessons of the art of war, which enabled him, out of unorganized masses of men, to make compact companies, regiments, and brigades of soldiers, to act as a single body in the great game of war. ' ' More than 500 of the graduates and past cadets have served in the army or navy, and many have gained high rank or been conspicuous for gallant and meritorious services. A roll of honor, recently compiled, includes the names of 521 past cadets who have served the flag of their country, and shows that the university has furnished to the army six major-generals, eight brigadier-generals, two surgeon-generals, fourteen colonels and brevet brigadier-generals, thirty-five colonels, thirty-four lieutenant-colonels, twentj'-four majors, ten majors and surgeons, seven captains and assistant surgeons, one hundred and fifty-five captains, sixty-eight first lieutenants, and twenty-three second lieutenants. To the navy it has supplied four rear-admirals, five commodores, three captains, one chaplain, three commanders, one lieutenant-commander, and eight lieutenants. Admiral Dewey is the second cadet of Norwich University to command the Asiatic squadron, the first being Rear- Admiral Charles C. Carpenter, now in command at the Portsmouth yard, who was in charge of the squadron during the war between China and Japan. Still earlier a past cadet attracted attention on the Pacific Ocean, this being Commodore Josiah Tattnall, first of the United States and then of the Confederate navy, who in 1857 aided the English vessels in their engagement with the Chinese at Pei-ho, and explained his act by the famous saying : ' ' Blood is thicker than water. ' ' At its last commencement the university conferred the degree of master of military science upon Admiral Dewey, he being the first recipient of it in the last fifty years. Among its representatives in the navy, besides those already mentioned, have been Rear-Admirals Hiram Paulding and Charles 94 Life of George Dewey. S. Boggs, Pay Director William B. Boggs, Capt. George M. Colvo- coresses, Commander George A. Converse, and Capt. James H. Ward, who is said to have been the first naval officer killed in the civil war, being shot on June 27, 1861, while sighting a gun, in the attack of his gunboat flotilla on Matthias Point. The list of past cadets in the army includes Brevet Major-Gen. Thomas E. G. Ransom (son of Col. Truman B. Ransom), who died while leading the Seventeenth corps in the pursuit of Hood, and was ranked by both Grant and Sherman as among the ablest of their volunteer generals ; Major-Gen. Robert H. Milroy, who after gallant service in the Mexican war, dis- tinguished himself in the civil war, and at Winchester, Va. , in com- mand of the Second Division, Eighth Corps, resisted nearly the whole of Lee's army for three days, until his ammunition and pro- visions were exhausted, and then cut his way out by night; Major- Gen." Grenville M. Dodge, who commanded the Sixteenth Corps in Sherman's Georgia campaign, and at Atlanta, where he was severely wounded, with eleven regiments withstood a whole army corps; Brig. -Gen. F. W. Lander, who died early in the civil war, after brilliant services at Philippi, Rich Mountain, Blooming Gap, and elsewhere ; Brevet Major-Gen. Truman Seymour, who served with high credit in both the Mexican and civil wars, and led a division in the Shenandoah Valley and the Richmond campaign ; Brig. -Gen. Seth Williams, also a Mexican veteran, who was Adjutant-General of the Army of the Potomac ; and so many others who attained distinction that space forbids a continuance of the roll. Among the military representatives of Norwich in the war with Spain may be mentioned Brig. -Gen. E. B. Williston and Col. Edmund Rice, of whom Gen. Miles recently wrote that he "had the best regiment in the Army of the Potomac. ' ' The present head of the university is a retired naval officer, Commander Allan D. Brown. The United States government details an officer from the active list of the army for duty as pro- fessor of military science and tactics, and sends an inspecting officer to make a yearly examination of the discipline and drill. Small as the college is, and remote from large cities, associations of its Life of George Dewey. 95 alumni are maintained in Boston and New York. The officers of the New York Alumni Association are as follows : President, Gren- ville M. Dodge, '53; Vice-Presidents, Cyrus H. Fay, '37; Clayton E. Rich, '63; William R. Mead, '64; William M. Rumbaugh, '76; Secretary and Treasurer, Robert L. Irish, '89. The Reveille, published by the cadets of the university, in its issue following the battle of Manila, contained two accounts of that glorious victory, one written by Lieutenant-Commander George P. Colvocoresses, of the Concord, and the other translated by him from the Diario de Manila of May 4. In a letter accompanying these articles, the Lieutenant-Commander bore testimony to the affection- ate interest with which Admiral Dewey regarded his early training school. The description of the battle by Commander Colvocoresses does not differ materially from the accounts previously accepted as accurate, but the Spanish newspaper report, while throwing no new light on the engagement, is interesting because of the point of view represented. It begins as follows : "As the sun rose above the clouds and mist that overhung our shores on the morning of May i , the inhabitants of Manila saw with surprise and dismay the enemy's squadron in well-ordered line of battle on the waters of the bay. Who could have imagined that they would have the rashness to stealthily approach our shores, pro- voking our defenders to an unavailing display of skill and valor, in which, alas, balls could not be propelled by heart-throbs, else the result would have been different? ' ' The sound of the shots from our batteries and those from the enemy's ships, which awakened the citizens of Manila at five o'clock on that May morning, transformed the character of our peaceful and happy surroundings. Frightened at the prospect of dangers that seemed greater than they were, women and children in carriages, or by whatever means they could, sought refuge in the outskirts of the city, while all the men, from the highest to the lowest, the merchant and the mechanic, the soldier and the peasant, the dwellers of the mainland and those of the coast, repaired to their posts and took up q6 Life of George Dewey. arms, confident that never, except by passing over their dead bodies, should the soil of Manila be defiled by the enemy, notwithstanding that from the first it was apparent that the armored ships and power- ful guns were invulnerable to any effort at our command. Before entering our port the enemy had well assured himself of his superi- ority over our defenses." Then follow a list and description of the Spanish and American vessels. The walls of the public square, it is said, the towers of the churches, the upper stories of houses, and every place that com- manded a view of the bay, were thronged by eager spectators. The account is continued: "The shots from the batteries and plaza produced no impression upon the cruisers. The spectators on the shore, with and without glasses, continued to scan the advancing enemy, who, although he may have been brave, had no occasion to show it, since the range of his guns and the deficiencies of our artillery enabled him to do all the harm he wished with impunity. * * * a soldier of the First Battalion of Sharpshooters, who saw the squadron so far out of range of our batteries, said, glancing up to Heaven, 'If the Holy Mary would only transform that water into land, then the Yankees would see how we could fight ! ' And a Malay, squatting near by, exclaimed, ' Let them land, and we will crush them under heel ! ' Meanwhile the enemy proceeded with speed and safety, in perfect formation, towards Cavite, with the decision born of security. " * * * From Manila we could see, by the aid of glasses, the two squadrons almost confounded and enveloped in clouds of smoke. Owing to the inferiority of our batteries, it was evident that the enemy was triumphant and secure in his armored strength ; he was a mere machine, requiring only motive power to keep in action his destructive agencies. * * * Who can describe the heroic acts, the prowess, the deeds of valor performed by the sailors of our squadron as rage animated them? All who were beneath the folds of the banner of Spain did their duty as becomes the chosen sons of the fatherland." A description of some details of the engagement is given, in OLD NORWICH UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS. Life of George Dewey. 97 which it is said : "A thick column of smoke burst out of the forward storeroom hatch of the Christina, indicating that an incendiary pro- jectile, of the kind prohibited by Divine and human laws, had taken effect in the cruiser. Without ceasing her fire, she retired toward the shore and was scuttled to avoid falling into the Yankees' hands. The indignation of the sailors of the Cristina was raised to the highest pitch at seeing the Castilla on fire from the same incendiary causes." Finally, it is said: "The Spanish vessels that had not succumbed to the flames or the shots of the enemy were run aground, as they could not be disposed of in any other way. This was the last stroke ; we could do no more, the combat of Cavite was ended, and our last vessel went down flying her colors." A list of the Spanish killed and wounded is given, and high praise is awarded to the defenders of the batteries at Manila and Cavite. THE HAND OF GOD. "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them how we will." — Shakespeare. STANDING on the quarter deck of the Baltimore August 22, 1898, and gazing at the American flag over Fort Santiago, within the walled city of Manila, Admiral Dewey said: "I hope it floats there forever, forever. It is strange that we have wrested an empire from those people, and that with the loss of only a few men. Our navy did most remarkable work. If I were a religious man, and I hope I am, I should say that it was the hand of God. I remember, when we engaged the fleet, seeing shells fired directly at us, and I do not understand under heaven why we escaped. "Then we came up here on the Olympia and sent them an ultima- tum. In three letters that were written by Consul Williams I told them that if they fired another shot I would destroy their city. I demanded the surrender of some small vessels that scurried into the Pasig, and which I believed to be torpedo boats, and I asked the joint use of the cable. We were close in and alone, but they did not fire, and never did. ' ' I am proud of these men under me, and proud to be their leader. They are all efiicient. I gave up the Olympia and sent her to Hong Kong and came on the Baltimore. Here I find everything as effi- cient as on the Olympia. I am sending all of the squadron up to be cleaned, and have asked for a battleship and an armored cruiser. " I do not intend to go home unless it is absolutely necessary, for there is much work still to be done here. I do not want to go until it is all over. The truth has not been told about this place. It is not so hot, and the weather is much better than has been asserted. In the fleet we have less sickness than on ordinary cruises." [98] TO HIS FORMER ENEMIES. A NUMBER of Confederate veterans living at Clarksville, Tenn., wrote a letter of congratulation to Admiral Dewey, and in view of the fact that they had manned a Confederate battery which once sunk the Union vessel upon which Dewey was executive officer, the instance shows that even the bitterest of old comrades on each side are burying the hatchet and falling into that grandest of grand armies where the blue and gray are marching shoulder to shoulder. The old veterans who sent a letter express- ing a very cordial feeling for their former enemy and distinguished compatriot, manned one of the Confederate shore batteries at Port Hudson, La., on March 13, 1863, when the United States ship Mis- sissippi, with Lieutenant George Dewey aboard as executive officer, was disabled and finally sunk by those batteries. In their letter to the Admiral the)' mentioned the Port Hudson incident. Dewey's answer follows : "Flagship Olympia, Cavite, P. L, July 23, 1898. —Lieut. A. F. Smith, and others, Clarksville, Tenn. — Dear Sirs : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter and resolutions of May 28, 1898, and I can assure you that, although I have had letters, resolu- tions, telegrams, etc., from all parts of the United States, none has given me more pleasure than the communication from you. ' ' One fortunate result of this war with Spain is the healing of all the wounds that have been rankling since 1865, and I believe that from now on we will be a united people — with no North, no South. "That result alone will well be worth all the sacrifices we have made. It would give me much pleasure to talk over with you those stirring days around Port Hudson, and I hope that pleasure may be in store for me. In the meanwhile, with many thanks for your congratulations and best wishes, I remain, very truly, GEORGE DEWEY." [99] "EASILY RANKS FIRST." " His life was gentle; and the elements So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ' This was a man! ' " — Shakespeare. THE war witli Spain brought to the front many men who will live in history and in the hearts of the American people while time shall last. But dearer than all the rest, and more honored than all others combined, will ever be the Hero of Manila. The editor of the American Monthly Review of Reviews, Albert Shaw, will readily be accepted as an authority on this sub- ject, and from him we quote the following opinion: — "Admiral Dewey could, of course, at any time since May i, have bombarded and conquered the city of Manila ; but although his task of waiting was an extremely trying one, he had determined to make no attack that should expose the city to the danger of anarchy and rapine. It was his policy to wait until the United States had sent a sufficient number of soldiers to maintain a safe and firm occupation, and prevent the disorders that would flow from a state of civil war- fare. With their fatal proclivity for postponement, the Spaniards had waited a week too long. Our complete conquest of Manila had altered the facts, because it had destroyed the Spanish argument that Manila was prepared to stand an indefinitely long siege. It was, upon the whole, highly fitting that Admiral Dewey, whose brilliant exploit on May i had been the first great event of the war, should have received the surrender of Manila, and in consequence thereof, virtually secured the American possession of the entire Philippine group as the result of the last naval action of the war. Admiral Dewey's tact as diplomat and administrator in these past four months is not less remarkable than his boldness and brilliancy as a naval strategist. Moreover, he has shown that well-nigh per- [lOO] Life of George Dewey. ioi feet self -mastery which can wait with infinite patience or can act with lightning-like energy, as the occasion may require. Manila is so far away, and the news since May i has come in so condensed a fashion, that we have not known in minute detail how Admiral Dewey was occupying himself from one day to the next. But the people of the United States have felt that the Admiral was in a very unusual degree the embodiment of American pluck, common sense, cool- headedness, and ingenious resourcefulness ; and so they have felt a great satisfaction in the idea that the Vermonter in the Philippines could be relied upon to take care of himself and dominate the situa- tion, regardless of Spanish captain-generals and the intrigues of pompous German admirals, not to mention the soaring aspirations of restless native patriots like General Aguinaldo. The winning side in every war develops its heroes. We are all glad to believe that many another officer of our navy would have given a splendid account of himself if he had, in Dewey's place, been in command of the Asiatic squadron at the outbreak of the war. But Dewey had especially qualified himself in advance for precisely the work he has so well executed ; and by unanimous consent he will rank first in the list of heroes of the late war. ' ' (D' FROM REAR ADMIRAL BUNCE. "A love that took an early root." — Thomas K. Hewey F all the people delighted with the famous victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila, there is no one that rejoices more sincerely than Rear Admiral Bunce, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. "Friends," said he, "yes, indeed, from the days when we were at the Naval Academy. We entered the same year and not only were classmates, but chums. He was a splendid fellow then, and always has been. ' ' "Were you surprised when you read of his victory? " "Not in the least. All that Dewey wanted was the opportunity; when it came he embraced it." "How did he stand in his class? " "He was not what you may call a student, but he was one of the bright fellows. He stood neither at the head nor at the foot, but about in the middle, but we all knew that he had the ability to stand anywhere he wanted to. ' ' Admiral Bunce went on to say that there were ' ' few more popu- lar men than Commodore Dewey. He never sought popularity. It came to him. In the first place he is a fine-looking man, and he has most attractive manners. People seek him out, and whenever he is on shore he is kept busy with his social engagements. At the same time he is no carpet knight. He is a fighter, and a disciplin- arian — just the sort of a man to engage in a big battle and win it. ' ' ' ' What do you think of his victory ? ' ' "Nelson can't approach it. I have studied Nelson's battles very closely and he won no victory to compare with this. Nelson fought against ships, but he never won a victory against ships and batteries as well. The only thing to compare in his history to Manila, was at Copenhagen; but I do not agree with Nelson's biographers about [102] Life of George Dewey. 103 that. They try to explain and apologize, but the facts remain. It was not a great victory. "There are those who would belittle Dewey's achievement by saying that the Spanish had only wooden ships, and that he had armored cruisers," was suggested. "Armored cruisers," exclaimed Admiral Bunce, "who could say such a thing? You may go no further than the Navy Register. See here," and he took a copy from his desk, "there is not an armored cruiser in all Dewey's fleet. "So far as ships go the Spaniards were nearly our match. The trouble was not with their ships. They had good enough ships, but they didn't know how to handle them. They were not marksmen. If Dewey had let them get near him they might have hit something, but he knew too much for that. He could hit them and keep his distance. ' ' A PERSONAL REMINISCENCE. " I do not set my life at a pin's fee." — Shakespeare. * * (^ ^ AXTY" Fisher, a gray -haired veteran, who served twenty- nine years in the navy, and who has been at the naval home for the past eight years, knew Admiral Dewey on the Pacific station after the war, as well as during the struggle. Regarding the latter he said : ' ' The present hero entered the service in ' 54 and was with Far- ragut at the taking of the forts at New Orleans and Mobile. I was then on the Cherokee, a big sailing ship, which put into Pensacola harbor soon after its capture and remained there as a base of supplies for marines going into the Mississippi river fights. Our boat didn't have any steam power, and, as she drew twenty-seven feet of water, couldn't get over the bar at the mouth of the river. There was only twenty -four feet of clear water there at the best. Without steam we weren't of any use at any rate, so we were kept out of the fight, which young Dewey got into soon after. "He was a lieutenant then and was on the Mississippi, one of the boats which was to run the blockade. The crew numbered 380 men, all told, and they were ready for whatever might come. I remember well how we heard of the daring exploit when the fleet ran the gauntlet of the forts. The Mississippi had to be burned to escape capture and the crew were told to save themselves. Lieutenant Dewey could have escaped easily, as he was a bold, powerful swimmer, but he was too unselfish to think only of him- self so long as any of his comrades were in danger. Not far from him he spied a seaman who was trying his best to keep above water after his right arm had been paralyzed by a bullet. Dewey struck right out for him and gave him a lift, till they reached a floating spar. Then the wounded man was towed ashore in safety. [104] GEORGE DEWEY WAS THE LAST MAN TO LEAVE THE BURNING SHIP.' 'DEWEY STRUCK RIGHT OUT FOR HIM AND GAVE HIM A LIFT.' Life of George Dewey. 105 "There were picked' shots among the 'Johnny Rebs' on the bank, and they did deadly work. So whether they spared young Dewey and his wounded shipmate because of the act of mercy he was doing or whether the floating spar concealed them somewhat we never knew. At any rate there were so few who escaped when they swam for the shore that the old fellows in the service said right away when they heard the story: 'Well, I'll be durned if that young Dewey ain't being kept alive for something better than trying to sneak by old rebel forts. He'll live to show the stuff that's in him some day, if I know what I'm saying.' We never thought he'd ever get such a high-sounding title as 'the hero of Manila ; ' but I'll be gosh durned if he don't deserve it for licking those sneaking Spanish." I FIRST BAPTISM OF FIRE. " Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once." — Shakespeare. " y ALWAYS said that the ship that Dewey surrendered wouldn't be worth a d n to the enemy. It would be just a lot of old junk." This is what one of the old shipmates of the victorious American naval commander said in Boston when he had read of the triumph of our fleet at Manila. This, too, is the opinion of all of his other former messmates. Admiral George Dewey received his " baptism of fire " aboard the old steam sloop Mississippi, under Farragut in the early days of the civil war. Dewey got his commission as Lieutenant on April 19, 1861, eight days after Fort Sumter was fired upon, and he was immediately assigned to join the Mississippi and do duty with the West Gulf squadron. He was on the Mississippi when she took part with Farragut's other vessels in forcing an entrance to the Mississippi River, and again when the fleet ran the gauntlet of fire from the forts below New Orleans in April, 1862, and forced the surrender of that city. The ship he was in belonged to Captain Bailey's division of the fleet which attacked Fort St. Philip. The hottest fight that the Mississippi ever engaged in was her last one, and this was perhaps as hot as any of the war. In March, 1863, the fleet tried to run by the Confederate batteries at Port Hudson. Some of the ships got as far as a narrow part of the chan- nel, where they met land batteries almost muzzle to muzzle, and then they were forced to retreat. The Mississippi did not get as far as this. A foggy day had [106] Life of George Dewey. 107 been chosen for the attempt, and amid the fog and the smoke of battle, which redoubled the obscurity, the Mississippi lost her bear- ings and ran aground. Her officers found that she had struck just under the guns of a battery ip the middle of the line of fortifications, and one of the strongest of the lot. In half an hour 250 shot struck the vessel, and she was riddled like a sieve. There was no chance of holding her, so her crew took to the water to save their lives, after setting her on fire. Soon, lightened by the departure of her crew and by the fire, she drifted off. Blazing and saluting with her shotted guns, she drifted down the river, until finally the fire reached her magazines, and then her career ended in a great explosion. Admiral Porter singled out the youthful lieutenant for special praise. He spoke of him in words that are the sweetest reward that an officer can be given — above wealth or fame, or above even promotion. But promotion came promptly for the gallant young sailor. In 1865 he was a Lieutenant Commander. THE COOLEST OF OFFICERS. " He was a man; take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again." — Shakespeare. THERE is a man in Brooklyn who fought under Admiral George Dewey, on the frigate Mississippi when she was riddled at Port Hudson by the shells of the Confederates. This naval veteran's name is James Ryan. He works in the Navy Yard. He was elated over Dewey's victory in the Philippines, and says that his old commander is the coolest, bravest and most level- headed officer at close quarters in the United States Navy. ' ' Why, Dewey ought to have been an Admiral long ago, ' ' said Ryan. "I can remember the destruction of the old Mississippi just as if it occurred yesterday. Melancthon Smith was her captain, and Dewey was first lieutenant. ' ' The order to attack Port Hudson came at night. Dewey, on his own responsibility, ordered us to whitewash the decks so that the gun's crew would have a chance to see the running gear of the guns. Such an order had never been given before to the crew of a man of war. "Going down the river before daybreak the Richmond became disabled. In trying to steer clear of her we ran aground. As ill luck would have it we stuck fast in the mud within a hundred yards of the Confederate batteries. Why, we were so close we could hear them talking. "You can imagine what a nice mark we were for the enemy. In a little while the shells from their batteries began to fly all about us. It didn't take long, I tell you, to set the Mississippi aflame from stem to stern. "Dewey was the coolest man of us all. As soon as he saw that [108] Life of George Dewey. 1C9 the vessel was lost lie ordered us to spike the guns. At that time the men were leaping overboard to escape the flames. ' 'I joined Lieutenant Dewey and some of his crew on shore after that. As we were trudging through the country we ran across a band of guerillas. They demanded to know if we had any officers in our party. We answered no, and they let us go. They didn't notice Dewey's rank, because we had cut the buttons off his coat. "The last I saw of Mr. Dewey was on July 30th, 1863, when he gave me a note that read : " 'I hereby certify that James Ryan, ordinary seaman, was attached to the United States steamer Mississippi at the time of her loss, March 14, 1863." ' ' ' He gave it to me to help me get the value of my belongings lost on the Mississippi." The fighting spirit has not yet left this gallant Irishman. ' ' If they'd take me,' he said, "I'd be back in the navy to-morrow — especially if I could have a chance to fight under George Dewey again. ' ' t^ t^^ TRIBUTE FROM A FELLOW CLUB MAN. " Now, good digestion, wait on appetite. And health on both." — Shakespeare. THE Admiral on shore has ever been essentially a man of clubs and society. Always quiet and gentlemanly and not obtrusively conversational, but ever ready to talk and to be talked to. Perhaps he was readier to be talked to than to talk, for he has a mind of great activity and tense curiosity. While in Washington much of his leisure time was spent at the Metropolitan Club, where he became associated entirely in a social way, with Mr. H. L. Nelson. Speaking of the Admiral recently to a friend, Mr. Nelson paid him this tribute : ' ' He loves to know what men are doing and accomplishing in the world, and on the whole I should say that he had a 'Yankee' mind — a mind of acquisitiveness as well as inquisitiveness. I do not use the word inquisitiveness to mean impertinent curiosity, but to mean a desire for acquaintance with matters of importance. Generally when on shore duty at Washington Commodore Dewey lived at the Metropolitan Club, and was sometimes a member of its House Com- mittee. Of one thing the members of the club will always have a grateful recollection^ and that is the improvement of the cuisine under the direction of the Commodore. When he had anything to do he did it with all his skill and ability. When he turned his mind to the kitchen of the Metropolitan Club the dining-room became pleasanter and more attractive. "Professionally, he was always highly esteemed by his brother officers, but that is a side of him concerning which I am not com- petent to speak. As a gentleman in society he was immensely popular. People loved to have him for a dinner companion, and men in the club loved to chat with him. He had a great zest for [HO] Life of George Dewey. Ill everything that he engaged in, and I presume he enjoyed the fight at Manila even better than his chop ^nd chat at the club. But I have no stories to tell about him, because of all the men I have ever known who have risen to distinction, there are fewer stories to be told of Dewey than of any of the rest of them. ' ' SMARTER THAN CHAIN LIGHTNING. ' ' For courage mounted with occasion. ' ' — Shakespeare. JOHN L. VEIMARD, now commanding the auxiliary gunboat Brown, speaks of George Dewey as one of the best officers he ever knew. Veimard was acting Ensign on the steam frigate Colorado with Dewey, who was Lieutenant Commander in charge of the ship. He says of him : — "He was smarter than chain lightning, quick, passionate, and always demanded perfect discipline of his men. He never would have a drunkard near him, and any man found in the least bit intoxi- cated aboard ship was dealt with in the severest manner. Always kind hearted, Dewey was respected not only by his superiors, but by the men under him. ' ' Among the Portsmouth men who served under Dewey during the Civil war is Charles E. Rand. He is enthusiastic in his praise of the Admiral's courage and ability. Said he: — "I remember when I was with Admiral Dewey on the flagship Colorado; he was then Lieutenant Commander and executive officer. "Once, during a terrific gale, we were off the Bay of Biscay, oftentimes a nasty place, too, and the command was given to save the ship. The old Colorado could not move faster than eight knots an hour, and we were on a lee shore. I tell you it looked bad for us. "At the height of the storm the Admiral took the bridge, reliev- ing Dewey, and an order was given to set sails to help us out to sea. We fellows had to hustle into the rigging, and just to encourage us Dewey himself mounted the ladder, and in less time than I can tell it was on the yard unfurling sail. It was an exciting scene, and a dangerous situation, but in a short time we were clear of the coast and safe from wreck on one of the rockiest shores I know of.' [112] POPULAR IN WASHINGTON. " Aye, every inch a King." — Shakespeare. eOMMODORE GEORGE DEWEY was on duty continuously in Washington from 1888 until he went out to China to take command of the fleet there in preference to the European station, which had been offered to him. His personal popularity in Washington was second to that of no officer in the United Service, and few, indeed, were so widely known in the National capital. In personal appearance he was distinguished, always faultlessly attired, and invariably in evidence at the best social entertainments. He was considered unusually handsome, and, being a widower, was looked upon as a most desirable party by the wealthy mammas of daughters who had passed their teens. An entertaining conversa- tionalist upon any topic, a scientist of unusual attainments and a man at home the world over, with never an unkind word for any- body, George Dewey had not an enemy among the men, and was a conspicuous favorite among the women. He is sixty-one years old, but he does not look it, and but for his whitened hair he would be taken for fifty. He is a first-rate all-round athlete and a huntsman of repute. His naval accomplishments have marked him as one of the lead- ing strategists in the service, and his Civil War record demonstrated his fighting ability. His firm belief in discipline, especially aboard his own ship, has caused his subordinates to admire him rather than to be fond of him ; but no complaint has ever been recorded that reflected upon his strict impartiality and justice to officers and men alike. [113] A POSITIVE MAN. "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well." — Earl of Chesterfield. IT was thirty -nine years ago — 1859 — that George Dewey entered on his first naval duties as midshipman of the United States steamer Saratoga. He had just graduated from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and was ordered to the Saratoga when she started on one of her practice cruises. The men who slung their hammocks beside the redoubtable midshipman now congratulate each other and say : "I told you so. Dewey just couldn't help it. " Dewey was a positive man, even as a middy. He was positive in appearance and positive in action. Discipline was one of the things that was to him requisite above all other things on a vessel of the United States Navy. So he began when just out of the Naval Academy, to show that he knew what was needed on shipboard, and he was respected for it. His old comrades say he was popular, too, both in his class and aboard ship. They say he was a thorough scholar and a good student. In his early days his former shipmates all remark that resolute, firmly set jaw, and those eyes that flash determination gained a reputation that has followed him through all his career as a naval officer. Those who knew him as a boy and man, as middy and com- modore, say over and over again : — "I told you so. That's the way Dewey always did everything." [114] LOST DEWEY'S MONEY. "Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long." — Goldsmith. eLARK FISHER, President of the New Jersey Anvil Works, Trenton, N. J., tells a story of how he became custodian of George Dewey's savings during the Civil War, and was relieved of them by guerillas while on his way north. Fisher was a messmate of the present Rear Admiral for nearly a year when he was the chief executive officer of the Agawam, on the James river. That was in 1863 and '64. Fisher was chief engineer of the Agawam. The navy was aiding Grant's operations around City Point and Petersburg. Fisher left the navy in the latter part of 1864, and a day or two before he started for the North Dewey came to him, and handing him $400, said : "Fisher, I wish you would take this money up North with you and give it to my father. Tell him that I want him to invest it for me. It has been rattling around my pockets for a long time, and is doing me no good. It will make a small nest &^%, and may come in play for a rainy day." Fisher took the money and stowing it away in his inside pocket, along with a hundred and fifty dollars of his own, set out for home. When the train was in the vicinity of Gunpowder Creek a band of guerillas, under command of Harry Gilmore, stopped it and proceeded to relieve the men on board of their money and valuables. Fisher happened to be at the end of the train from the guerillas, and when he saw them coming he started for the door. Just as he reached the platform a burly fellow caught him by the tail of the coat and attempted to haul him back, but Fisher quickly unbuttoned [115] 1 ii6 Life of George Dewey. tlie garment and slipped out of it, leaving it in the hands of the guerilla. Then he bolted for the woods and made his escape. It was not until after he had reached a point beyond the danger line that it occurred to him that Dewey's $400, as well as his own money, had gone along with his coat. Speaking of Admiral Dewey when he was on the Agawam, Fisher says that he was then considered one of the best men in the service, active, energetic, a good disciplinarian, quick, able, no braggart, cheerful, polite, particularly pleasing to strangers, but, above all, his character was one of alertness. He was prompt in everything, without being hasty. HE OBEYED ORDERS. " Suit the action to the word." — • Shakespeare. THE San Francisco Examiner is authority for tlie following amusing anecdote of the time when Admiral Dewey was executive officer of the Colorado: W. W. Stone, who was ship's writer on board the cruiser Colorado when Dewey and Watson were lieutenant commanders on that vessel, can tell many stories about those two celebrities. Admiral Goldsborough was in command of the Colorado. His valet, John, who at one time was President Lincoln's servant, was a witty but bungling Irishman. Stone's best story centres around this quaint character. One morning Admiral Goldsborough sent down word to John that he wanted his glass, meaning, of course, his spyglass. John, as usual, however, misunderstood, and came tramping up the bridge with a goblet in his hand "John, you're the devil's own valet," growled the Admiral when he saw him coming. "Faith, sor, I didn't think I'd come to that same when I tuk service wid ye, sor. ' ' "Throw that blamed goblet overboard and go and get me my spy- glass, as I told you, you infernal idiot ! ' ' "Yes, sor," said John, calmly tossing the glass over the side, and in doing so narrowly escaped dashing it upon the upturned face of our executive officer, Lieutenant Commander George Dewey. Mr. Dewey was on a tour of inspection, circling the frigate in one of the cutters. The Colorado had just arrived from Triest. The passage down the Adriatic sea had been a stormy one, and the painstaking executive officer of the vessel wanted to see for himself how the old ship looked after her battle with the waves. It was a lovely spring Sunday morning. We had dropped anchor ["7] ii8 Life of George Dewey. in the beautiful bay of Naples, and I had crept up into the mizzentop to drink in with boyish zest the delights of our glorious surround- ings. Off our beams lay Ischia and Capri, standing like stern Roman sentinels on guard, at the horns of the bay. Ahead lay the Cam- panila. From its center rises old Vesuvius, from whose grim apex I could see floating upward a hazy wreath, significant of the unrest beneath. I watched the old Admiral with a great deal of interest. Had I been a kodak fiend I should then and there have forfeited my appointment by taking a snap shot at the irate officer as he glared at the sleek, unconcerned menial. "Go below, you blundering Irishman, before I have you tossed over after the glass. ' ' The man disappeared with just the suspicion of a smirk on his innocent looking face. ' ' Mr. Dewey would like to have you find out, sir, who is heaving crockery over the side of the ship, sir. ' ' This came from one of the crew of the cutter. He had come up with the order and spoke to Lieutenant Commander John Crittenden Watson, at the time officer of the deck. The Admiral overheard tJie message of the angry executive and laughed quietly. "Tell Mr. Dewey that it was the Admiral, my man," said he soberly; then, turning to Mr. Watson he remarked, "He can't very well put the Admiral in the brig, though I may deserve it." ■ "He may look around for a substitute. Admiral," answered Mr. Watson, smiling. "Oh, no; Dewey has too keen a sense of justice for that. Besides, I remember him saying once that he had no use for sub- stitutes. ' ' A few moments after this Mr. Dewey himself came over the starboard gangway, saluting the admiral with rather a haughty air. You see, a lo-pounder may spin merrily past a fellow's head aboard a man-o'-war and serve merely as a hook on which to hang the old time jest about a "miss being as good as a mile," but when a plain matter of fact, plebeian tumbler shoots past you, contrary to the articles of war and in direct violation of established naval etiquette, the circumstance that you have escaped mutilation is only an Life of George Dewey. 119 excrescence alongside of the glaring fact that your dignity has been very violently assaulted. The Admiral looked down and took in the situation. Descending to the quarter deck, he approached Dewey and said with a friendly air, "I say, Dewey, did you ever read 'Handy Andy? ' "Yes, sir," rather shortly. "Well, now, I must have his cousin aboard." And the Admiral related the glass incident. The two laughed over the blunder, Mr. Dewey having recovered his usual good nature by this time. ' ' You see, Dewey, I have a sort of interest in the fellow. The secretary recommended him to me as a good, faithful serving man. He had been attached to Mr. Lincoln as his personal attendant, and I took the scamp partly on that account. Ah, here he comes at last with my glass! John, did Mr. Lincoln ever score you for your awkwardness? " "No, sor, he niver did. Many the time he tould me that it wor a mercy that we were tegither, because, said he, his mind wor taken off affairs of state by thinkin' did he wurruk harder tellin' me how to do things than if he wint and did them himself." "Doubtless, doubtless," said the Admiral, laughing. "I want you to remember, John," said Mr. Dewey severely, "that it is strictly against the rules of this ship to throw anything over the sides. You came very near striking me in the head with your glass tossing." "That wor a pity, sor." "A pity! " exclaimed Dewey savagely. "By Jim, I'd have come up and had you strung up at the mainyard arm like a dog. ' "No, sor, axin' yer pardon, I hope not." "What's that? " roared the future admiral angrily. "Throth, sor, d'ye mind the mornin' tellin' me that ye wor to do the thinkin' an I wor to obey orders, even if I bruk owners? " The two laughed heartily at this hit, and John went below with flying colors. CLAIMED BY SEVEN NATIONS. " I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American." — Daniel Webster. THE efforts to trace George Dewey's ancestry to nearly every nation on earth have been both amusing and ridiculous. The following symposium as to the Admiral's nationality appeared soon after the battle of Manila in a Chicago newspaper : As A Scotchman. Far be it from me as a Scotchman to embroil myself in the con- troversy as to Admiral Dewey's nationality. Indeed, it would be foolish of me to go to any such lengths, knowing full well as I do that he is of the purest Scotch blood, such as was Paul Jones. The Dewars and Deweys, though the latter branch never had anything to do with the distillery business, are of the same family. Dewey's forefathers came to wander into Vermont after the battle of Quebec, in which our Scotch troops lost their heads when the British officers stopped the bagpipers from playing the pibrochs all were accustomed to hear in highland warfare. I think you will find on investigation that Dewey had a set of bagpipes playing close by him when he whipped the Spanish. G. R. MACAULEY. Irishman. It is shameful the way the foreign countries are trying to rob Ireland of the glory and fame of Dewey. As the Admiral does not deny that he is of Irish blood it ought to be proof enough that his forefathers did not steal their good old Irish name. Indeed, the Deweys were so valiant and numerous at one time during the defense of King James' crown that they almost constituted a clan, and they were all made of the sternest fighting stuff. [120] Life of George Dewey. 121 A great many of the earlier Irish immigrants of the century drifted into Vermont, and the branch of the Deweys whence the Admiral springs was among them. Very early in life he expressed a preference for the naval calling rather than politics, and that is why he became a hero instead of a statesman, the fate of so many of us. M. S. O'NEIL. Swede. We of Swedish origin, who take a natural pride in the great deeds of our countrymen, have investigated the subject of Admiral Dewey's birth since he destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila, and have proved beyond doubt that he is descended in direct line from the Vikings. His ancestors were thoroughbred Swedish sea fighters, and once upon a time had their home in Smoland, a province of Sweden. As near as we can find out, Dewey's immediate ancestors came to the United States in the present century and had the Legis- lature of Vermont change their name, for convenience, from Dew- jansen to Dewey. They left the seafaring business and took up the plow, but even the life and training of the farm could not suppress the Swedish genius for great deeds on the sea which the youngest of the celebrated Dewjansens inherited. C. M. BINJENSTERN. ■ German. May I trouble you to print some news I find before me in the Darmstadter Tagblatt of recent date. It states that Admiral Dewey, the conqueror of Manila, is German, and, like the distinguished Henry Villard, still has relatives on the Rhine. Some of his rela- tives on the maternal side, the Von Geigers, live in poor circum- stances in the suburbs of Darmstadt, and an aged cousin on his father's side is a poor country gate keeper on the Badische railroad. No doubt can exist as to the Deweys' descent and that fact that his great-great-grandfather was one of the Hessian mercenaries employed by King George to suppress the American revolution. The family name, which is still preserved by Dewey's remaining, though 122 Life of George Dewey. remote, cousin is spelled Duwig, and is by no means uncommon in Hesse-Darmstadt. H. VON EPPSTEIN. Frenchman. I want to say a word about this dispute as to what nation may claim the honor of having given to history, the grand and illustrious Admiral Dewey. Do not be surprised when I inform you that he is French. His family name is Douett, pronounced Doo-ay, and what would be more natural than this change to Doo-ey, as you Americans pronounce it now. Admiral Douett's great-great-grandfather was an of&cer under Lafayette and conducted himself bravely through- out the war for American independence, marrying afterward in New York a French governess of noble blood who fled from the revolu- tion. When they settled in Vermont they really thought they were taking up their home in French Canada, so it is by the merest chance, and not from choice, that Admiral Douett is an officer in the American navy, instead of that of his native land. J. L. MARCY. Italian. As it is about time that the Italians should claim the honor which they know to be theirs in the nationality of Admiral Dewey, I have ventured to bring the interesting fact to your attention that he is in blood a true son of the Adriatic. We find, after patient research, that his great-great-grandfather was Raphael Angelo Di Wi, the first enterprising Italian musician to brave the horrors of the Atlantic for the purpose of introducing the movable organ to this country. Raphael Di Wi was a man of fine courage and intrepid ancestry. No doubt it is the character of the old fisherman forefather we find reflected in the Admiral. Shortly after Raphael Di Wi had arrived in Boston he met a beautiful young countrywoman who was engaged in selling "objects d'art" done in chalk, and they were married, thus founding the Di Wi stock. E. G. CANDIANI. Life of George Dewey. 123 Russian. It is time that the truth should be told about the genealogy of Admiral Dewey. He is not of Irish or Scotch or Scandinavian descent, as has been asserted so often. He is in reality of Russian blood and comes from a distinguished line of sea fighters who ante- dated Peter the Great in water warfare. One of Dewey's ancestors, who spelled his name Dhjuhjii, was attached to the staff of the American admiral, Paul Jones, while the latter served Catharine of Russia, and, in their intercourse came to have such a high regard for the United States that he retired in time from the Russian navy and settled down as a farmer in Vermont. Thus did Russia confer this great man upon the United States. P. I. OBLEVITSKY. THE "DEWEY" CRAZE. " What's in a name ? " — Shakespeare. IMMEDIATELY after the battle of Manila Bay enterprising business men througbout the United States began catering to ■ the popular feeling of admiration for Commodore George Dewey, and before that gentleman and hero had been made an Admiral by the act of Congress the country was flooded with every description of merchandise labeled ' ' Dewey. ' ' Here are a few of them: The very next morning after the news of Dewey's victory reached the United States the National Guard of Massachusetts went into camp at South Framingham, and with one voice named the encamp- ment Camp Dewey. Enterprising druggists and soda water venders generally were not behind the times, and Dewey cream, Dewey nectar, Spanish shake and Manila phosphate were among the lists of cooling drinks conspicuously announced. A hustling lithographing company soon began supplying bar- keepers throughout the country with a handsomely colored copy of the American flag, with a portrait of George Dewey in the centre and across the face the words: "Dew-ey Smile? " This was hung behind the bar, and confronted the visitor when he faced the counter. The answer may be imagined. Most of the customers thought they did. Manila straw hats were quite the rage among the young men and women who could afford the luxury, while those less favored were supplied with a good but cheap imitation, with a red, white and blue band, and a Dewey button of heroic size at the side. The inference was: " Don't you touch it. See? " Many cities promptl}' named streets and avenues after the Manila [124] Life of George Dewey. 125 hero. The first to do this was the city of New Orleans, which has a large Spanish population, and where one of the important thorough- fares had long borne the name of Spain street. The day the news was received in the Crescent City the council met and promptly changed the name to Dewey street. The residents of a dozen or more towns throughout the Union almost immediately applied to the postal authorities at Washington to have the name of their postoffice changed to Dewey. The result is that Deweyville will hereafter appear on the maps instead of the former names of villages in several of the Western States. The city of Union Hill, N. J., was among the number making such petition, but mail will still be addressed as before. New towns and suburban villas without number have been named for the Admiral, among the nuniber these names having been recorded : Dewey Terrace, Dewey Park, Dewey Highlands, Manila Glen, etc. The Adirondack region of New York State came to the front at the opening of the season with a summer resort named Dewey on Saranac Lake, and hotels without number were named for the man who sunk the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, in every State in the Union, and it was a small place which did not have its Dewey inn, or Dewey cafe. Before the summer of 1898 was half gone the music stores were filled with marches, glees, songs, waltzes, galops and choruses, all extolling the heroism of George Dewey and his gallant sailors at Manila. The Dewey shirt waist for patriotic young women raade its appearance early and had a large sale. It was a combination of stars and stripes, and gave a jaunty air to the wearer. A shoe manufacturer in Massachusetts put on the market a Dewey tan shoe, the sharp but heavy toe suggesting the bow of a cruiser. The shape was popular, and the shoe had a remarkable sale though- out the season. Dewey neckwear was plenty, tri-colored ties and striped collars and cuffs being sold in all well-regulated haberdasher shops. The fever struck the sporting fraternity, and homeruns on the 126 Life of George Dewey. baseball field were called Dewey hits. A tenstrike in a bowling game was named a Dewey. Race horses, yachts, rowing crews, etc. , were called Dewey, and were, of course, expected to vanquish all competitors. There were more kinds of badges, buttons, stick pins, paper weights, sleeve buttons, watch charms, hat pins, etc., bearing the features of Admiral Dewey sold on the streets and in the stores than were ever issued in honor of any candidate for President of the United States. But the climax was reached when the fond papas and mammas began naming their darling babies after the hero of Manila Bay. Boys were called George Dewey Manila, with variations in the arrangement of the names, and girls were christened Susie Good- win Dewey in honor of the Admiral's lamented wife. In several instances the names of all the Admiral's vessels were incorporated into the name of a single dusky son or daughter of Ham. It was a craze, the extent of which will not be fully known until the taking of the next general census, when the truth as to the number of children named for Admiral George Dewey will first be definitely made known. HONORARY DEGREES AND MEDALS. " I awoke one morning and found myself famous." — Byron. AS soon as the country had recovered from the shock and sur- prise of the battle of May i , several of the most noted col- k leges and historical societies conferred upon George Dewey honorary titles and degrees innumerable. Medals in bronze and other metals were struck in memory of his famous victory, and it is doubted if any other American except General Grant was ever so highly honored at home or abroad. Admiral Dewey is now a full- fledged and titled Doctor of everything but Divinity, and several theological institutions were willing to add that degree also, if only assured that the hero of Manila belonged to their own particular denomination. The medal from the New Jersey Historical Society is worthy of special mention here. It was struck from the die made by Tiffany & Co. , in 1 889, in commemoration of the centennial of the inaugura- tion of George Washington as President. The medal measures two and a half inches in diameter, and around the edge on one side are the words : ' ' To Rear Admiral George Dewey, Elected Hon- orary Member of the New Jersey Historical Society, May 19, 1898 — Olympia. ' ' On the same side is the head of George Washing- ton, and around the portrait in raised Roman letters is the inscrip- tion : "Washington Centennial Medal, New Jersey Historical Society, 1 789-1 889." On the other side is a copy of the seal of the society, from behind which appears a wreath of laurel and oak. Above the seal are the words: "Above all things hold dear your National Union." The State Legislature of Vermont has been asked for an appro- priation to assist in the construction of a memorial building at the Norwich University, to be called Dewey Hall, and the same is to be built during the year 1899. Most of the necessary funds for the project have been raised by popular subscription. [127] THE LUCKY RABBIT'S FOOT. " I bear a charmed life." — Shakespeare. IF any one doubts that there is luck in carrying a rabbit's foot about on the person, they should remember that Admiral George Dewey wore one on his watch chain as a charm during the battle of Manila. While the American squadron was in Hong Kong a friend sent the talisman to the Admiral, with the information that it was the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit, killed by a full-blooded negro at just midnight in the dark of the moon. A four-leaved clover was also presented, and this latter was worn during the battle by Captain Gridley of the Olympia. There is no doubt that George Dewey would have fought as well and won his great victory just the same had he not been thus protected ; but there will always be some persons sufficiently superstitious to believe in the charm of the foot of the rabbit now more firmly than ever. Most people are a little superstitious about some things anyway. Some months after the battle of Manila Bay this magic talisman was sent by Admiral Dewey to a personal friend in New Jersey, and was exhibited in several cities. As a result, hundreds of thousands of similar charms were made and sold by enterprising manufacturers of novelties, until the " Dewey rabbit's foot " became as familiar to the eye as the Dewey badge or Dewey button.

DEWEY, Montpelier, Vermont. WESTFIELD, MASS. DEWEY GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY. ILLUSTRATED, SECTION 1, BRANCH OF THOMAS, COMPILED BY LOUIS MARINUS DEWEY, WESTFIELD, MASS. DEWEY GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY. Copyright, 1898, by LOUIS MARINUS DEWEY, Westfield, Mass. [202] PREFACE. IT was the Rev. Orville Dewey, the justly celebrated Unitarian divine, who, at the Sheffield (Mass.) centennial celebration, in June, 1876, declared that "it is fit and becoming thus to remember our fathers — fit toward them, and becoming for us. They who do not remember and revere their ancestors who have done worthy deeds are not likely to leave a posterity that will be worthy of being remembered. It is, there- fore, not only fit, but it concerns our own character, and the character of our children, that we should do it; that we should take, and leave to our children, an impression which is good for us and for them. It is an advantage in aristocratic countries, that noble families, who have acted a distinguished part, should, in their permanence, carry down the recollection and incite- ment of high, historic virtues. We have no aristocracy. All the more reason is there that we, the whole people, should take care of these treasures of the olden time; that we should take upon our hearts, and keep alive within them, the memory of our fathers' virtues." The Hon. William E. Gladstone, the truly Grand Old Man of England, once said: " No greater calamity could happen to a people than to break with its past." If this be true of people as a nation, it is equally true of large and influential families. Each individual is guilty of the folly of break- ing with his past when he willingly allows the records of his family to perish. The study of family history is a subject growing in importance and interest from year to year, as the lines become more widely separated and their members fewer in numbers, and as the individuals from whom reliable data may be obtained drift apart, and the " old homestead " becomes a memory of the past. Family traditions are easily lost m this era of hustling com- mercialism, and in order to preserve for future generations the records of the past and present, the Family History and Genealogy has become a neces- sity. The widespread interest taken in the social and benevolent patriotic orders of the day render the careful compilation of historic data well-nigh indispensable as a source of information, and no one unacquainted with the detail of such an effort can fully appreciate the labor involved in such an undertaking. The gathering of records from which this Family History has been compiled was commenced more than fifteen years ago, and this book is placed in the hands of the printers with a feeling of confidence that no similar publication ever issued was more carefully prepared, or the records involved more conscientiously inquired into and verified. In Charles Sumner's oration on " The Grandeur of Nations," delivered [203] 204 Dewey Genealogy. at Boston, July 4, 1845, we find these words: " Honor to the memory of our fathers! May the turf lie gently on their sacred graves? But let us not in words only, but in deeds also, testify our reverence for their name- Let us imitate what in them was lofty, pure and good; let us from them learn to bear hardship and privation. Let us, who now reap in strength what they sowed in weakness, study to enhance the inheritance we have received. To do this, we must not fold our hands in slumber, nor abide content with the past. To each generation is committed its peculiar task; nor does the heart which responds to the call of duty find rest except in the world to come. Be ours, then, the task which, in the order of Providence, has been cast upon us! " And it is in the spirit thus bequeathed to us by Massachusetts' most illustrious statesman that the Dewey Family History is offered to the public. Errors there may be in the text (for who among us is perfection?); but if our humble efforts meet with the approval of the members and descendants of the family of Dewey, and are received charitably by the general public, we shall rest content. LOUIS MARINUS DEWEY. Westfield, Mass., November i, 1898, THE FAMILY HISTORY. THE writer first began the collection of material for the Dewey Family history back in 1883, by questioning his grandfather, then over seventy years old, about the origin and early history so far as he knew. Then the Noble Genealogy furnished much data concerning several families in the third and succeeding generations. " Brief Notes on the Dewey Family," collected by Rev. B. W. Dwight of Clinton, N. Y., while at work on his Strong and Dwight family histories, furnished a still broader basis for a grand superstructure ; all these printed records have been verified and corrected by consulting the original town, county, church and other records; and correspondence and personal interviews with living representatives of the family during the last fifteen years have added to the collection until it is finally presented to the public for inspection. The family, as a whole, have taken much pride in preserving their records, many of them back to the settler himself. The largest individual collection, very generously handed over to the writer in 1886, was that of Harry Hovey Dewey of Sheffield, 111. (No. 1999), who had prepared a nearly complete record of the descendants of Simeon Dewey (No. 1234), and was disappointed in failing to awaken interest enough among the members of the line to war- rant him in publishing it. Others have taken Dwight's Brief Notes and added the record of their own line to date. Not until 1894 did the writer find ^ny other Dewey willing to put any money into the effort to collect records and complete the history for publication. Then Mr. Orville C. Dewey, of Wheeling, W. Va. (No. 3155), began a correspondence with the writer and has furnished much labor and capital towards the success of the enterprise. Tw'o years later Mr. William T. Dewey of Montpelier, Vt., (No. 6063), who had made extensive collection of Dewey family data, began to work in connection with the writer, and together we have swept the world for Deweys, and the success we have attained is evidenced by the succeeding record of some fifteen thousand persons. After the great victory at Manila Bay, when interest in the Deweys took a sudden start, Mr. Adelbert M. Dewey of Washington, D. C, who had been collecting material for a life of Commodore George Dewey, came forward and asserted that " now or never was the time to put out the History of the Dewey Family," and proposed to publish his " Life of George Dewey " as a preface to the family history. This additional inducement to subscribers has increased the list to such an extent that we are able to bring the work to a successful close. L. M. D. [205] FAMILY ORIGIN. To determine the origin of a family as old as that of Dewey is a task beset with difficulty; the farther back one goes the less complete and more unsatisfactory the records become. The Dewey was an old Feudal family in French Flanders, from which the town of Douai in France takes its name; some of the family came to England with William the Conqueror and settled in Lincolnshire, northeast of London. One authority says a nobleman named de Wey (pronounced De Vay) came with William the Conqueror, after whom Weymouth, in Dorset, England, was named. Dewees in Dutch means " the orphan." Dewey or Dewi in Welsh is a corruption of David, and there is a tradition in some Dewey families that the origin of the race was in Wales where the patronymic was originally derived from Archbishop Dewi, chosen patron saint of Wales; canonized by Pope Calixtus in 1120 as St. David; founder of monastery at Meneria, West Britain, now St. David's Head, Wales, and in which the beautiful and imposing Cathedral of St. David now stands, and in which his remains repose, " Oy Dewi " "House of David" being the most sacred spot in the kingdom to all true Welshmen. His whole history is most interesting. Dr. Orville Dewey, (No. 8285), the great Unitarian divine of Boston, memorialized this bit of family history by calling his ancestral home at Sheffield, Mass., "St. David's." ' In Burke's Heraldry it is claimed that the name Dewey was originally " de la Wey." The ancestors came over with William the Conqueror and took this name. A branch of the name was called Dewes, and Simeon De Ewes was created Baronet of Stow Hall, and had a coat of arms given him about the year 1629, the motto being " Corona Veniet Delectis," " The crown will come to those who deserve it." Another authority asserts that " the name Dewey was originally De Ewes, and went from French Flanders into England in the reign of Henry VIII, when one branch of the family had the name ' de vie,' another branch 'Dewey,' as well as one branch of the name ' Davie.' " And this is from Kimball & Johnson's Peerage: " In the parish of Stanwood in the county of Devon, England, there was an ancient mansion house and demesne lands known by the name of the JFiy. The inhabitants of this seat, and ancestors of this family were first of all known by the name of Dela-Wey, and the first of them mentioned in their pedigree had coat armor, which hath ever since continued the same to this family, although their names have diversely been written De-la-Wey, then Dewy, [206] Dewey Genealogy 207 De Vie, and softened into Davis, into which variation it was the more sub- ject, for that many hundred years since, one Walter Pollard, matching with the daughter and heir-general of this house, became owner of the said ancient habitation called ' Wey,' which gave name to the family. " The first ancestors mentioned in the pedigree is William De la Wey alias De Wy, who came over with the Conqueror. He left issue —William, Walter, and Henry. Walter's daughter, Elizabeth, married Walter Pollard. William de Vie, alias Davy, was the second son of this first William. His son was William De Vie, alias Dewey. " His son was David Devye, alias Dewy. " The Delaneys, etc., are ancestors of the Davies, Baronets of England from 1614 to the present time. One of them was graduated at Harvard College in 1681." After the massacre on St. Bartholomew's Eve, in August, 1572, many thousand of families, including persons of intelligent minds, industrious habits and austere morals, left France for the Netherlands and England; in the latter country they erected silk manufactories, in the eastern suburb of London, and taught the Saxons to make the stuffs and hats of which France had long enjoyed the monopoly. In England these people were known as Walloons, and landing at Sandwich, then an important seaport of county Kent, they spread out over southeastern England; Norwich was one of the cities to give them the most welcome, and in a few years there were fifteen hundred Walloons in that place alone. Thomas Dewey, the Settler at Dorchester, Mass., sailed from Sandwich, which leads us to believe he was of Huguenot extraction; his descendants, even in the second generation, were millers, carpenters, and wheelwrights. In the third generation the sons of Israel were weavers, tailors, etc., which is strong evidence to support this opinion. There are Douai and Douay families now living in France; Deweys from England,, Ireland, Denmark and Norway, in the United States; some Duhig families from Ireland have adopted Dewey as their name, such a one being at Northampton, Mass. FAMILY CHARACTERISTICS. As a race, the Deweys have been sober, honest, industrious, and long- lived ; always in the van of progress; in the front ranks of the armies which have fought our battles, secured our independence, and upheld our liberties; in the advance guard of the pioneers, who have subdued the forests and built up the waste places with thriving towns and cities; foremost in the advancement of law, medicine, theology, science, art, and manufactures.

IN the final construction of this work our endeavor has been to present in as simple a manner as possible the facts and figures so that he who runs may read. In the matter of dates we have begun the year January first as at present. It may interest some to be told that previous to 1752, England and her colonies began the year with March 25, and was eleven days behind the rest of the world, which had adopted the Gregorian calendar; we have not added these; therefore all days before January i, 1752, are in old style, while we have made the years new style by beginning the year with January first. The system of numbering the individuals of the family has been from one to over nine thousand; only persons fifteen years old or more and only the children of sons, the children of daughters being numbered always beginning with one. The numbers will be found at the left of the names when they appear as children; when they are carried ahead and become the head of family their number is placed above their name as a better distinction ; thus it becomes easy to trace one's pedigree backward or forward by taking the number above, turning back until you find it on the left; or taking the number on the left and looking ahead until you find it above the name. The children of Dewey daughters will be able to find themselves under the daughter's number. The two indexes at the end of the book are, first, of the given names of persons named Dewey, with their number on the left and the year of their birth on the right, arranged in alphabetical order, but in five sections, one for each branch of the Thomas Dewey family, and for miscellaneous. Most of the descendants of Thomas of Windsor know which branch they are on, and can easily find themselves by looking through their section only; while it is not much more trouble for those who do not know their position on the family tree to look through all the sections of the index. The second index is of persons who have married Deweys or descendants of Deweys; their descendants can find their position in the family by referring to their parent or ancestor in this index. Where the exact year of birth has not been obtained, an approximate has been made and " a " for about placed before the year thus: " a 1898." The abbreviations used in the book are b. for born, m. for married, d. for died, unm, for unmarried, dau. for daughter, etc. With the above explanations, well digested, it ought to be an easy task for anyone to easily locate any name appearing in the record.

We wish here to personally thank many public officials and members of the family who have shown an interest in our search for ancestry, and who have aided us with material and kind encouragement. Very respectfully, LOUIS MARINUS DEWEY. PRELUDE. IN writing the history of a family, the origin of which extends back into the dark pages of history, it is of interest and really necessary, in order to understand the reasons which induced our forefathers to forsake their civilized, comfortable homes for the unbroken wilderness of a strange country, inhabited by wild animals and savage men, to rehearse some of the events in the world's history just preceding the advent of the white man on these western shores, and examine those milestones of history succeeding the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The following brief notes, taken principally from Histories of Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn., will therefore furnish an introduction to our family history : England was strictly a Roman Catholic country until Henry VIII repudiated Catherine of Aragon, married Anne Boleyn, and abjured the supremacy of Pope Clement VII. This certainly was not the Reformation, but, in the hands of Providence, it was a step towards it. The service and ritual of the Church of England, substantially as they exist this day, were established under Edward VI; but his sister Mary, hav- ing married Philip II, of Spain, restored the Old Roman Catholic faith, and kindled the fires of Smithfield. With the accession of Elizabeth (1558), the Church of England was restored, and Protestantism again became the religion of the State. Dis- sensions at once arose, not on points of doctrine, but as to church cere- monials. Those opposing the church ceremonials, preferring the simple forms adopted by Calvin, were called Puritans. Laws of greater or less severity were passed against all non-conformists, especially that of 1593, against those who would not attend the Established Church. This atro- cious statute, in its final result, peopled New England. James I early announced that no toleration was to be extended to dis- senters, and he threatened to " harrie " the Puritans out of the land. That portion of them, known as Brownists, who had formally separated from the church, were the first victims; as early as 1608 they were forced into exile in Holland. From there they went forth, an " Immortal Band of Pilgrims," to found a new home on " Plymouth Rock." In the ancient town of Dorchester, in the county of Dorsetshire in Eng- land, the Rev. John White, called the " Patriarch of Dorchester," but in this country "the father of the Massachusetts Colony," brought the adventurers of the West of England into connection with men of influence [211] 212 Dewey Genealogy in London, Lincolnshire, Kent and other eastern counties, to form settle- ments in New England. He fitted out that great "Dorchester men" expedition under the great and good Gov. Winthrop, which sailed, March 20, 1630, from Dorchester, in the "Mary and John," Capt. Squeb, master, a vessel of 400 tons. After a prosperous voyage of seventy days they arrived at Nantasket (now Hull) on the 30th May, about ten days in advance of her sister ship, the " Arbella." A few days afterwards they adopted as the permanent seat of the settle- ment " a neck of land fit to keep their cattle on," called Mattapan, after- wards Dorchester, and at present South Boston. In Winthrop's History of New England (Boston, 1853,) we are told that November 3, 1620, just before the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers in the May Flower at Plymouth, King James I granted a patent for all that country, which should be called New England in America. On the 19th March, 1628, the Plymouth Company granted Massachusetts Bay, and three miles to the north and south of every part of Charles River. On the 4th March, 1629, King Charles I confirmed this patent of Massachusetts Bay. On the 19th March, 1631, Robert Earl of Warwick, President of the great Council of Plymouth, granted the patent for Con- necticut. The reason why these settlements of the Massachusetts Colonies were so great at this time 1629, were: That liberty of conscience could not be enjoyed in their parent country, England. No indulgence was granted even to the most pious, loyal, and conscientious people, who v,fOuld not strictly conform to the habits, ceremonies, and worship of the Church of England. All non-conformists were exposed to fines, imprisonments, the ruin of their families, fortunes, and everything which ought to be dear to men. The most learned, pious, orthodox and inoffensive people, who did not conform to the Church of England, were treated by the king and his bishops with far. greater severity than drunkards, Sabbath breakers, or even the most notorious debauchees. They were condemned in the spiritual courts, with- out juries, without having the witnesses against them brought into the court, to depose face to face; and, sometimes without knowing the crime alleged against them, or who were the witnesses by whom it was to be proven. Many of the pious people in England were so harassed and persecuted for their non- conformity that they determined, if possible, rather to make settlements in a dreary wilderness, at the distance of three thousand miles from their native country, than endure the persecution and sufferings to which they were con- stantly exposed from the hands of those who ought to have cherished and defended them. This cruel treatment of our venerable ancestors was the cause of the settlement of ttie New England colonies and churches. It will 'ever be the distinguishing glory of these colonies, that they were not originally formed for the advantages of trade and worldly emolument; but AND Family History. 213 for the noble purpose of religion, the enjoyment of liberty of conscience in the worship and ordinances of God. The first meeting house erected in Dorchester, and the first in the Bay, was built on Allen's Plain, (near the corner of Pleasant and Cottage streets,) in 1631. Rev. Warham lectured here on the fourth day of every week. This building served the plantation for fifteen years. Such numbers were constantly emigrating to New England, in conse- quence of the continued persecution of the Puritans in England, that the people of Dorchester, Westertown and Newtown began to be much straitened, by the accession of new planters, and determined to plant a new colony in Connecticut. To this there was strong opposition. A number of Dorchester people, members of Rev. John Warham's church, went during the summer of 1635 into Connecticut, and made preparations to bring their families and make a permanent settlement on the river. Every effort on the part of the Colonial Government was made to divert the spirit of emigration so rife among the people, for the whole colony con- tained at this time but five or six thousand people. Cotton Mather, in reference to this subject, says: — " Massachusetts soon became like a hive overstocked with bees, and many thought of swarming into new plantations." After having made such preparations as they judged necessary, they began to remove their families and property. " On the 15th October, 1635, about sixty men, women and children, with their cattle and swine, com- menced their journey from Massachusetts, through the wilderness, to Connecticut river. After a tedious and difficult journey, through swamps and rivers, over mountains and rough grounds, which were passed with great difficulty and fatigue, they arrived safely at the places of their respective destinations. They were so long on their journey, and so much time and pains were spent in passing the river, and in getting their cattle over, that after all their exertions, winter came upon them before they were prepared." They began their settlement on the west side of the Connecticut, not far from the mouth of the Scantic river, and called it Dorchester at first, then Windsor. The face of the country then was much the same as now, save that the rich meadows more nearly resembled bogs. Thick and stately groves of the primeval forest covered the hills. Where the Indian fires had had their full effect, a tall and coarse grass, well suited for thatching, grew rankly upon the rich soil, and afforded a lurking place for the stealthy savages. The tangled thickets upon the banks of the streams, which were likewise torn by the vernal freshets and the winter ice, made it difficult to cross them, especially with cattle. Most of the provisions and furniture had been sent around the 'coast in small vessels, which were either delayed or destroyed by the tempests, and thus failed to arrive. Several of them were wrecked. Two shallops 214 Dewey Genealogy were cast away on Brown's Island, the men and goods perishing. Early in November a party of six left the settlement in a vessel to return to Boston. Being wrecked in Manamet Bay, they got ashore; and, after ten days' wandering, they reached Plymouth, exhausted by wintry cold and snow, and pinching famine. All that was needed to complete the horrors of their situa- tion was found in their exposure to the savage animosity and the jealous fears, as well as the yet unchecked cruelty of the Indians. The winter set in this year much sooner than usual, and the weather was stormy and severe. By the 15th of November Connecticut river was frozen over, and the snow was so deep, and the season so tempestuous that a con- siderable number of the cattle which had been driven from the Massachusetts Bay could not be brought across the river. The people had so little time to prepare their huts and houses, and to erect sheds and shelters for their cattle, that the sufferings of man and beast were extreme. About the beginning of December provisions generally failed in the settlements on the river, and famine and death stared the inhabitants in the face. In their distress, some of them in this severe season attempted to go through the wilderness, to the nearest settlement in Massachusetts. A company of thirteen who made the attempt, lost one of their number, who, in passing a river, fell through the ice and was drowned. The other twelve were ten days on their journey, and had they not received assistance from the Indians, would all have perished. Such was the general distress by the 3d and 4th of December, that a considerable part of the settlers were obliged to leave their habitations. Seventy persons, men, women and chil- dren, were obliged in the severity of winter to go down to the mouth of the river to meet their provisions, as the only expedient to preserve their lives. Not meeting the vessels which they expected, they all went on the Rebecca a vessel of about 60 tons. This vessel, two days before, was frozen in twenty miles up the river; but by the falling of rain, and the influence of the tide, the ice became so broken that she made a shift to get out. She, however, ran upon the bar, and the people were forced to unload her to get her off. She was reladen, and in five days reached Boston. Had it not been for these providential circumstances these people must have perished from famine. The people who remained and kept their stations on the river suffered in an extreme degree. ' After all the help they were able to obtain, by hunt- ing and from the Indians, they were obliged to subsist on acorns, malt and grains. The cattle which could not be got over the river, before the winter, lived by browsing in the woods and meadows. They wintered as well, or better, than those that were brought over, and for which all the provision was m^de and care taken of which the settlers were capable. A great num- ber of the cattle, however, perished. The Dorchester or Windsor people lost, in this kind of property, about two hundred pounds sterling. Upon vii AND Family History. 215 the breaking up of winter, and during the summer following, others came in large companies, and the settlements at Windsor, Hartford and Wethers- field were firmly established. It is difficult to describe or even to conceive the apprehensions and dis- tresses of a people, in the circumstances of our venerable ancestors, during this doleful winter. All the horrors of a dreary wilderness spread them- selves around them. They were compassed with numerous fierce and cruel tribes of wild and savage men, who could have swallowed up parents and children at pleasure in their feeble and distressed condition. They had neither bread for themselves nor children; neither habitations, nor clothing convenient for them. Whatever emergency might happen they were cut off, both by land and water, from any succor or retreat. What self-denial, firm- ness, and magnanimity are necessary for such enterprises! How distressful, in the beginning, was the condition of those now fair and opulent towns on Connecticut river. THOMAS DEWEY, THE SETTLER. THOMAS DEWEY, the emigrant ancestor of a large and influential family, in early manhood seems to have become a dissenter and emigrated to America from Sandwich, Kent, England, as one of the early settlers, under Governor Winthrop and Rev. John Warham. There were twelve other vessels which arrived after the "Mary and John" up to as late as July 6, 1630. Some think Thomas came in the "Lyon," which arrived at Salem in February from Bristol, Eng. ; others that he came in the " Griffin," Capt. John Haynes, which arrived September 4, 1633, but this could not be, as we have positive evidence he was here in August, 1633, as notice the following from the " Records of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in New England," page 153: " At the Court, holden att Newe Towne, August 4, 1635. "John Russell, merchant, disceased, att Dorchester, Aug. 26, 1633, and before his death, being of a disposeing understanding, did make his last will, in the presence of Mr. John Warham, pastor of the church of Dorchester, Tho. Moore, John Moore, and Tho. Deway, in the words following, or to the same effect: " Halfe of my estate I give to the church of Dorchester, and halfe to my brothers, Henry Russell and Thomas Hyatt, except my mans tyme, w* I give to my man; and he desired that in the disposeing of his goods to Dor- chester, there should be espetiall respect hadd to olde Dorchester people, nameing Goodman Gaping. " This was testified upon the oaths of the said witnesses, taken in Court, Sept. 3, 1633. " John Warham, Thomas Moore, I, his mark, Tho. Deawy, O, his mark. John Moore." The oldest allotment of land upon the Dorchester Records was made of salt marsh, April 3, 1633, among twenty-one persons, divided into four classes according to their interest in the stock. A .;^5° share entitled the holder to an immediate dividend of two hundred acres and a town house-lot, and fifty acres for each member of the family besides — non-stockholders to have fifty acres for the head of the family, and such quantity of land, according to their charge and quality, as the Gov- ernor and Council shall pee fit. [216] Dewey Genealogy. 217 The first Court of Assistants was held Aug. 23, 1630, at Charleston; Dor- chester, Boston, and Watertown, received authority of the Court, Sept. 7, 1630, to use those names. The principal part of the first settlers having no political rights, under the original Massachusetts Charter, which had been drafted for a trading company, the Court immediately made arrangements for extending the privi- leges of Freemanship to all suitable persons, and on the first application for this right (October 19, 1630), among one hundred and eight persons, twenty-four belonged to Dorchester. Besides the right of suffrage, freemen enjoyed advantages in the division of lands; and before the representative system commenced, they were all members of the General Court. The principal qualification for this privilege seems to have been — Church Membership. The character and morals of all persons offering for emigra- tion was strictly scrutinized, and such arriving without proper testimonials were not received. The following is Wood's description of Dorchester in '1633. " Dorchester is the greatest town in New England, but I am informed that others equal it since I came away; well wooded and watered, very good arable grounds and hay ground ; fair corn-fields and pleasant gardens, with kitchen gardens. In this plantation is a great many cattle, as kine, goats, and swine. This plantation hath a reasonable harbour for ships. Here is no alewife river, which is a great inconvenience. The inhabitants of this town were the first that set upon fishing in the bay, who received so much fruit of their labors, that they encouraged others to the same under- takings." The following is Josselyn's description of the town: " Six miles beyond Braintree lyeth Dorchester, afrontire Town pleasantly seated, and of large extent into the main land, well watered with two small Rivers, her body and wings filled somewhat thick with houses to the number of two hundred and more, beautified with fair Orchards and Gardens, hav- ing also plenty of Corn-land, and store of Cattle; counted the greatest Town hereto fore in New England, but now gives way to Boston; it hath a Har- bour to the North for ships." The first Dorchester Record- Book, commenced Jany. 16, 1633, is continued to 1720. As some few pages are missing, it is impossible to give the first division of lands. There is no mention made of payment for lands, to the plantation, by any individual. In November, 1634, it was ordered " no man shall sell his house or lot to any man without the plantation, whom they shall dislike of." The following is a list of all the grantees of Dorchester lands, whose names appear in the Town Records previous to January, 1636, and com- prises all the first settlers. 2l8 Dewey Genealogy John Allen.

As a specimen of the way lands were granted and located at this early day we present the following from old Dorchester Records: " Dec. ist, 1634. It is ordered that Rodger Clapp, John Hulls, Geo. Phillips, Willia^^^Hubbard, Stephen French, John Haydon, shall have 8 acres apiece in Roxbury bounds, betwixt the two market Trees, to begin at end which they shall agree off; to go in 40 Rod from the bounds of the fresh Marshes are to be excepted from these lots. Mr. Hathorne to have 12 acres, Nicholas Upsall to , T homas Duee to have 8 acres with them, Richard Callecott to have 14 acres. "MrTTKTcHards, Richard Callecott, Thorn. Holcomb, Th om. Duee are to cast their lotts together next to those above named. " Its ordered that all these shall fence in the lotts agaynst the next spring or to leave them to such as will so doe." " July sth, 1635. It is granted that T homas Duee shall have 2 acres of mowing ground, neere the Fresh Marsh, which he hath formerly mowen, in satisfaction for an acre of ground, which he left in common at his house." The name of Thomas Dewe :K.does not appear among the first twenty-four freemen of Dorchester, but he was enrolled May 14, 1634, by taking, as follows: " The Oath of a Freeman." " I, Thomas Dewey, being by God's Providence an inhabitant and Free- man within the jurisdiction of this commonwealth, do fully acknowledge myself to be subject to the Government thereof; and therefore do here swear by the great and dreadful name of the ever living God, that I will be true and faithful to the same, and will accordingly yield assistance and support thereunto, with my person and estate, as in equity I am bound; and will also truly endeavor to maintain and preserve all the liberties and privileges thereof, submitting myself to the wholesome Lawes and orders made and established by the same, and further, that I will not plot or practice any evil against it, or consent to any that shall so do, but will truely discover and reveal the same to lawful authority now here established for the speedy pre- venting thereof. Moreover I do solemnly bind myself in the sight of God, that when I shall be called to give my voice touching any such matter of this State in which Freemen are to deal I will give my vote and suffrage as I shall judge in mine own conscience may best conduce and tend to the public weal of the body without respect to persons or favor of any man. So help me God in the Lord Jesus Christ." On his removal to Windsor, he sold his lands at Dorchester, as evidence the following: " The i2th of August, 1635. These are to testify to all whom it may concern, that I Thomas Holcombe have sould and give full possession vnto 220 Dewey Genealogy Richard Joanes both of Dorchester 4 acres of ground with my houses and all things thereto p'tayning, and 8 acres of ground of my great iott on Rox- bury bounds, and 6 acres of meadow ground on the side Napouset River and 3 acres on the other side the River: — "I, TiiomasDuee of Dorch; do likewise fully confirme vnto Richard Joanes of Dorch; and give him full possession of 4 acres of ground with my house and all thereto belonging, also 8 acres of ground of my great Iott, also 10 acres of Medow on the side Napouset, and 4 acres of medow on the other, and 2 acres of medow in the Fresh Marsh. T. D. "The mark of Thos. Duee." The following records are interesting as showing the condition of affairs at this early day. The first Court in Connecticut was holden at Newtown (Hartford), April 26, 1636. At " A Corte held att Dorchester (Windsor) June 7, 1636." "It is ordered that every souldier in each plantacon shall haue in his howse in a readines before th 'end of August next twoe pounde of powder & yt they shall shew it to the Constable whenever he shall call them vnto it vppon the penalty of Xs. for every failure wch is presentlie to be le(vied) by the saide Constable wthout (resistance) as- alsoe 20 bul(letts) of leade in the like readines vppon the same penalty and in the same manner to be levied." At the same time it was ordered that a watch should be con- stantly kept; that ammunition should be always on hand; that each inhabi- tant should be armed, and train one day a month. Windsor had at that time within her bounds ten different tribes of Indians. And there were twenty thousand Indians in Connecticut at that time. As these infant settlements were so filled and surrounded with savages, the people con- ceived themselves in danger when they lay down and when they rose up, when they went out and when they came in. The courts were holden in each town by rotation, according to its turn. There were about two hundred and fifty men in the three towns, Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford, at the close of this year, 1636. At " A Corte at New Towne 21 Febr. 1637." " It is ordered that the plantacon nowe called Newtowne shal be called & named by the name of Harteford Towne, likewise the plantacon now called Watertowne shalbe called & named Wythersfield. And yt the plantacon called Dorchester shalbee called Windsor." " It is ordered yt noe yonge man yt is neither maried nor hath any serv- aunte, & be noe publicke officer, shall keepe howse by himself, without con- sent of the Towne where he Hues first had, vnder paine of 20s. pr weeke." " It is ordered yt noe Mr of a Family shall giue habitacon or intertein- ment to any yonge man to soiourne in his family, but by the allowance of AND i-AMILY HISTORY. 221 the inhabitants of the saide Towne where he dwelles vnder the penalty of 20S. pr weeke." " The Corte, in May 1637, ordered that there shalbe offensiue warr agt the Pequoitt, and that Windsor shall furnish 30 men and provisions, under Capt. John Mason and Lieut. Rob'te Seely." " At a General Meeting, April, nth, 1639, of the Freemen for the Elec- tion of a Governor and Magistrates, according to the orders for the year. Jno. Haynes, Esqr, was chosen the first Governor of Connecticutt." T homas Dewey was one of the settlers of Windsor, where the first record of the division of lands was undoubtedly a simple designation of lots by figures. The General Court, however, in September, 1639, enacted, that every town in the colony should choose a town clerk or register, " who shall, before the General Court in April next, record every man's house and land already granted and measured out to him, with the bounds and quantity of the same" and "the like to be done for all lands hereafter granted and measured to any, and all bargains or mortgages of lands whatsoever shall be accounted of no value until they be recorded." (Col. Rec, Vol. I, p. 37.) To this order the first volume of Windsor Land Records owes its origin, and the earliest entry on its pages is under date of October 10, 1640. In addition to these Land Records we have " A Book of Records of Town Ways in Windsor," compiled by Matthew Grant in August, 1654; and tO these we are solely indebted for all that we know about the locale of Ancient Windsor. Although we cannot point out the " exact spot " whereon each house stood, yet we are reasonably confident that we have correctly located each man's house-lot. ; The following is the list of the names of the settlers of Windsor, which appear on the records of the town in 1640 : Henry Wolcott, Esq.

In the Great Meadow 4 acres and a quarter, the breadth, 14 rod and half, the length 47 rod; bounded east by Mical Try, south and west by a highway, north by Eltwood Pomeroy. 3.

Also one parcel of land, 16 acres, more or less, bounded east by the homelots, 64 rod; north by Thoinas Stoughton, 36 rod; west by the half lots, 44 rod; south by George Phelps, 57 rods." To these lots he added more by purchase and exchange. His homelot was the first one north of the fort or palisade and extended from the main street of Windsor east to Connecticut River. '^^-«. He appears as juror of the Particular Court, in 1642, 43, 44, and 45. "It is not true as stated in History of Ancient Windsor, that he was several times Deputy; a mistake, probably arising from a careless reading of jurors as Deputies, both being printed in the same form He is not given once as Deputy." (Miss Charlotte Goldthwaite, Hartford, Conn., author of several family histories.) The above corrects such long established authorities as Stile's History of Ancient Windsor, Savages' Genealogical Dictionary, and other accounts which give T homas Dew ev of Windsor as a deputy and cornet.

The original boundaries of Windsor were very extensive, being about forty-six miles in circumference, lying on both sides of the Connecticut river. Within the limits of the town there were ten distinct tribes or AND Family History. 223 sovereignties. About, the year 1670 it was estimated that there were in the town nineteen Indians to one Englishman. The white men had a large fort a little north of the plat on which the first meeting house was erected. '' The Palisado Green is the veritable shrine of Windsor history and romance. Very pleasant it is, as we see it now, in the warm sunset sunlight of a summer day, lined with noble trees, behind whose waving tracery neat and elegant dwellings assert the presence of happy homes. " On this spot, more than two centuries ago our fathers dwelt; here pro- tected by the rude log defence which their own hands had thrown up, they slept secure from savage foe, here stood the meeting house, wherein the gentle Warham and the earnest Huit preached and prayed ; here, too, was the little village graveyard, close under the palisado wall where — one by one — they put off life's toils and cares, and laid them down to an eternal rest." The history of this interesting locality is as follows: Upon the breaking out of the Pequot war in 1637, the Windsor people as a precaution against surprisal by the Indians, surrounded their dwellings at this spot with a fortification or palisado. This consisted of strong high stakes or posts, set close together, and suitably strengthened on the inside, while on the outside a wide ditch was dug, the dirt from which was thrown against the palisades, and the whole formed a tolerably strong defence against any slender resources which the uncivilized Indians could bring to bear against it. It was of course necessary to keep a constant guard within the enclosure, to prevent the enemy from climbing over, or setting fire to the palisades. It was the fatigue of supplying these watches that so exhausted the men (as Mr. Ludlow sorrowfully wrote to Mr. Pyncheon, at Springfield, Mass., during the absence of the Windsor men on the Pequot expedition) " that they could scarce stand upon their legs." The whole length of this line of palisades was more than three-fourths of a mile, enclosing an irregular parallelogram of considerable extent. From the southwest corner of the burying ground it extended along the brow of the hill overlooking the Farmington river, eastward to the Meadow hill. This south line was 990 feet long. Its west line extended northward 1,139 feet, along the brow of the hill west of the burying ground. Its east line ran along the brow of the Meadow Hill, 1,320 feet northward; and its north line ran across from hill to hill, near the present residence of Mrs. Giles Ells- worth, and was 825 feet in length. When the first palisado was built, those who had their home-lots within its limits resigned their title for the benefit of the whole community. Matthew Grant, for instance, says that he originally had six acres, but resigned it all up, except where his buildings stood. This was the case with others. The following plan of the palisado was drawn in 1654 by Matthew Grant, who was at the time Recorder: 224 Dewey Genealogy NORTH. WEST. Captain, u n T. DEWEY. Hi way. T. Parsons. W.

Aaron Cook, Mr. James Cornish, Moses Cook, THOMAS DEWEY, Thomas Noble, David Ashley, Mr. John Holyoke, John Osborn, John Ponder, John Ingersol and Hugh Dudley. From now on he became an influential citizen of the new town, as is evi- denced by the positions of trust he was called upon to fill. The settling committee " ordered that Capt. Cook, THOMAS DEWEY, John Williams, John Sacket, John Ponder, David Ashley, and Mr. Cornish, shall view the land to be fenced and determine where the fence shall be set, what quantity there is and where each mans proportion shall be and this to be attended forthwith." Again he was appointed on an important committee: " At a meeting at Waranoco 2ist Jan. 1669. It is voted that James Cornish, George Phelps, THOMAS DEWEY, and Thomas Noble shall go to Springfield the first Tuesday in February next at a town meeting to propound to the town for the settlement of our place and affairs; in particular to determine where the line shall run between Springfield and us, and to appoint persons to lay out the bounds granted us by the Honored General Court and to allow us to be a township of ourselves and signify the same to the Honored Court, etc." The Court having granted them an addition of six miles square of land, [230] Dewey Genealogy. 231 the town of Springfield appointed, Feb. 2, 1669, Mr. James Cornish, John Root, THOMAS DEWEY, and John Sacket, or any three of them, to lay out the aforesaid grant. The only store in this neighborhood at this early period was that of John Pyncheon of Springfield, where Thomas Dewey had an account, as per fol- lowing copy, from the original book in Springfield City Library, dated 1658 to 1669: THOMAS DUEE, Dr. October, 1663.

The minister, Mr. Moses Fisk, having preached there for three years, left them and Thomas Dewey was sent to the Bay for another. On the 17th of Nov. 1671, he was directed to the Rev. Edward Taylor, who had been instituted a teacher in Harvard college only the day before, but being advised by those in authority, he set out on the 27th, and reached his destination on the first day of December; they rode all the way on horseback, over a trail, guided by marked trees, and made the journey in four days. Small inducement was there for him to leave the cultured society around Harvard College for a frontier settlement of hardy pioneers, struggling to keep the wolf and the savage from the door. But Christian duty triumphed, and with him came the best learning that the world could then afford. His influence was power- ful and came to the rescue many a time when a crisis was impending. He was their minister, lawyer and doctor; baptized them; attended them when sick, wrote out their wills and performed their funeral ceremonies. He did not marry them, as the strict customs of the Puritans delegated that service to the magistrates and justices. Many of the towns at this early period were, for years, without any professional doctor, but Westfield was favored, for a while, with more than her share, until George Filer, who was a surgeon, became a Quaker and removed, probably to Shelter Island, in 1674. At a court held at Northampton Mar. 26, 1672, Capt. Cook, Mr. Joseph Whiting, and George Phelps were " allowed of to be Commissioners to end small causes at Westfield (not exceeding 40 shillings value) for the yeere ensue- ing." They were reappointed next year, and formed the First Court in town. The year 1672 saw the completion of the second mill in town on Two Mile brook. Little River district, by Joseph Whiting and the three Dewey brothers, Thomas, Josiah and Jedediah, and in December the town agreed to allow them the toll of one twelfth part of the corn they ground. 233 Dewey Genealogy The following is the agreement of the proprietors: " This testifies an agreement betwixt Joseph Whiting, and Thomas Dewey, Josiah Dewey, and Jedediah Dewey, as followeth: " That is to say conserning the Saw Mill and Corn Mill that now stands upon Two Mile Brook, being fully finished as we are Mutely concerned do wholly discharge each other of all charges past about said mills and we fur- ther agree from this time to bear equal charge in reparing and doing what may be necessary about the mills and to receive equal benefit; and if any should desire to sell his part, the rest of the owners are to have the refusal of it; we further agree that the mills shall stand where they now are for 20 years except we shall see cause to remove them sooner; and to the above said agreement we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns as witness our hands this day of December, 1672. Witness: "Joseph Whiting, "Isaac Phelps, Thomas Dewey, Benjamin Dwight. Josiah Dewey, Jedediah Dewey." At a town meeting held "Dec. 10, 1672. On a motion of owners of the Mill to give the 12th part of the corn they powder both English and Indian it is granted by the town vote that it shall be so till the town see cause to alter. " Dec. 30, 1672. Granted to Thomas Dewey, Josiah Dewey, and Jede- diah Dewey 40 acres of land about the mills, taking in that land which the water is ponded on in part for the use of the Mills. " Thomas Dewey, Josiah Dewey, and Jedediah Dewey hath granted 10 acres a piece whereas all is upon the account of making the mills. " This may certify whom it may concern That we whose names are here subscribed, being the copartners with Joseph Whiting, the owners of the Grist Mill and the Saw Mill in Westfield, do declare that there is agreement made between the four partners that if any are desirous to sell his part, the rest of the owners are to have the refusal of it; but understanding that Mr. Whiting hath made sale of his part of the mills to Capt. Aaron Cook as appears by his demands desiring our consent that he might enjoy Mr. Whiting's part with us. We declare to all that we neither do nor shall at any time consent that the said Capt. Cook shall be any copartner or have any share with us in the said mills. Thomas Dewey, May 10, 1676. Josiah Dewey, Jedidiah Dewey." The Deweys had an extended litigation in the Court respecting their mills on Great Brook, then known as " two mile brook," (we know of no other reason for the old name unless of its being two miles from the town center). We have seen the completion of their first mill in Dec. 1672. Joseph Whiting had built one before near John Sacket's house (Springdale), but owing to the sandy soil was troubled to keep the water ponded and made an agreement with the Dewey brothers on above date to share in Ij^DyED ApRIL C- .^^i }IV^. y. ^m ■' -I'-'Wi THIS MONUMENT, ERECTED IN l6gO TO THE MEMORY OF THE FIRST DEWEY BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL, IS STANDING TO-DAY (l8g8) IN THE OLD CEMETERY AT WESTFIELD, MASS.

But he sold out to Captain Aaron Cook and the Deweys entered a protest May 10, 1676, and refused to recognize the Captain's claim. The town afterwards granted Whiting 5,0 acres for his part in the mills. The following taken from Church Records gives the causes of the case at law; it is entitled: " Brother Thomas Dewey's Case. " The Dewies formerly having a grant to set a Saw mill upon two mile brook and ye land about ye pond they made grants for their encouragement when they had set up their mill, Mr. Joseph Whiting being engaged to set up a grist mill and finding when he had set up one on ye brook by ye hill as we go to Northampton, the lands being sandy, not to hold water agreed with them to take a fourth part in their saw mill allowing after ye propor- tions for their charges, and that they should have 3 fourths in ye grist mill and so they set it on ye same dam and On Mr. Whitings going away in time 3 parts of ye mills come into Thomas Dewies hand and now ye Corn mill being worn out, he and his brother Josia being encouraged by work allowed them from ye town to ye making ye dam and a way that was some- thing difficult and also hazardous to spoile their work by letting ye water of ye brook away at ye mouth of two Mile brook where they had found a Rock to found their Dam upon, they were at charges to build a New Mill, and had set it up, and a swift mill it was. But that great flood ye sumr next after in August broke a passage their way, from great River almost to ther mill brook wch was judged to require ^o^ and 40^ in work to make it up again. Now in this Pinch Brother Pomeroy and some other had a grant to set a saw mill on ye Brook above theirs, so, as it was judged, it would take away two thirds of their water proved a temptation too Hard upon Brother Thomas Dewey so that he went one morning and cut down their Dam and hid their tooles. Of ye irregularity of wch fact being convinced from a ser- mon preafthed on this occasion on i. Corn. 12, 19. He confesst his fault and put up this following acknowledgmt wch was read and accepted of 2d 9m 1683 by ye church being Lords day. " Tho. Dewies Acknowledgmt. " In respect unto ye cutting down ye Dam and hiding ye tools I do here before God and his people acknowledge yet since I did it God hath brought me to see my Irregularity and Dishonr all proceedings therein, as a thing offensive under many considerations, wch made me grieved in my spirit, yet ye Adversary should get such advantage against me and to beg of God to pardon the will thereof. And having in point of satisfaction for ye Dam- maged ones, agreed with ye owners, I before ye people of God and especially ye Church whereof I am an unworthy member, to lay by whatever Offences they may have taken hereat, and to help me with their prayers, yet God may 234 Dewey Genealogy show himself gratious to me herein, and for ye time to come to defend me against all overbearing temptations. ' ' The first case came up 31 March 1685, the Deweys vs. Joseph Pomeroy, Samuel Taylor, John Sacket, John Williams and Nathaniel Williams, for unlawfully keeping a dam on two mile brook, beyond the liberty formerly granted to them and contrary to the grant of said Deweys whereby they, the Deweys, were damaged 20jQ by the stoppage of the stream. Verdict for the plaintiffs; liberty of the stream; all incumberances to be removed by the defendants who were to pay costs of ^^Q 3 sh. 6d. They appealed, except John Williams, who appeared to be not concerned, and gave bond. But for- feited soon by sawing at the new saw mill making the water run down an inch below the dam at the Deweys' corn mill. They were sued, ordered to pay costs, but appealed. Then Sacket etc. sued the Deweys for seizing their mill, but received a verdict only for costs of the court. The Deweys obtained execution on the land the upper mill stood on and the remainder of the amount on the owners' estates; this routed the upper mill and all parties came to the following agreement, 21 April 1685; each were to have their own proper charges; the Deweys to have the land for their charges; the owners had the liberty to use the mill until the beginning of October and then desist and give up all rights to the same; the Deweys were to remit the SO;^ given them by the Court, discharge all bonds and obligations, and " give eight days work a hand and team and six days with an hand towards removing" the mill to some other location. Samuel Marshfield, Thomas Noble and Edward Neale, witnesses. Pomeroy finding the Court against him had sold the land the February before to William Sacket who sold to George Saxton who was intending to back Pomeroy. " This matter being so foul" that Josiah Dewey drew up a complaint against Pomeroy and handed it to the minister, after failing to persuade him. Pomeroy was called before the church, made a confession and was forgiven. Who can imagine such a thing as war at this day, when one teholds a town of over ten thouand peaceful inhabitants, with contented homes and thriving industries? Yet war, the most savage of frontier severity, moistened the fair soil of Westfield with the blood of her soldiers and her freemen in the years 1675-7. The Indians of this region, at first peaceful, had invited the pale faces among them for the purpose of trade, and gave little trouble, aside from a few captures, petty thefts, and " spoil among the cattel and swine," until the restless Metacomet, with unusual sagacity, foreseeing the fall of his race, if the encroachments of the English were not stopped by annihilation, began the war known in history as King Philip's War. Poor deluded savage! Little did he realize the resources of the United Colonies, while the system that bound the Redmen together was no stronger than a rope of sand. The scions, residing in this locality, were known as Woronoco and Pochasuck Indians, and belonged, in speech, to the great Algonquin AND Family History. 235 nation; they had Alquot and his son Wolump as sachems. Without going into the details, explaining the causes that led to this strife, all of which are familiar to those who have read American history, we will confine our- selves to the events that took place in this vicinity, after the conflict had been under headway for four months. After the conflicts at Northfield, " Bloody Brook," Deerfield, etc., Major Treat, — who commanded the Connecticut troops sent here by the United Colonies, — moved down to Westfield, where he received notice of an intended attack on Springfield, from messengers sent up from Windsor, on the night of October 4th, 1675. He set out with his company and arrived at Springfield about the middle of the day, but being detained on the west bank of the Connecticut by the Indians, he was unable to save the town, which had been left by Maj. Pynchon and his garrison of 45, on an expedition up the river. Thomas Cooper was killed at this time. Soon after, the events so minutely described by the Rev. Edward Taylor took place. He says: — "but summer coming, (1675) opened a door unto yt desolating war, began by Philip Sachem of ye Pakaneket Indians, by which this handful was sorely pressed yet sovereignly preserved. But yet not so as that we should be wholly exempted from the fury of war, for our soil was moistened by the blood of three Springfield men, young Goodman (John) Dumbleton, who came to our mill and two sons of Goodman Brooks, who came here to look after ye iron on ye land he had lately bought of Mr. John Pynchon Esqr., who being persuaded by Springfield folk, went to accompany them, but (they) fell in the way by the first assault ye enemy made upon us, at wch time they burn'd Mr. Cornish's house to ashes and also John Sacket's, with his barn and what was in it, being ye first snowy day of winter (27 Octo- ber) ; they also at this time lodged a bullet in George Granger's leg, wch was, the next morning taken out by Mr. Bulkly, and ye wound soon healed; It was judged that the enemy did receive some lose at this time, because in ye ashes of Mr. Cornish's house were found pieces of ye boanes of a man, lying about ye length of a man in ye ashes. Also in winter, some sculking Rascolds, upon a Lord's day, in ye time of or afternoon worship, fired Amb. Fowler's house and barn, and in ye week after, Walter Lee's barn; but in ye latter end and giving up of winter, ye last snowy day we had thereof, we discovering an end of Indians, did send out to make a full discovery of the same, designing onely three or four to go out, with order that they should not assalt them, but to or woe and smart, there going 10 or 12, not as scouts, but as assailants, rid furiously upon ye enemy, from whom they received a furious charge, whereby Moses Cook, an inhabitant, and Clemence Bates, a soldier, lost their lives; Clemence in ye place and Moses at night. Besides wch we lost none of the town, onely at ye Fall's fight at Deerfield, there going nine from or town, 3 Garison Souldiers fell. Thus tho' we lay in ye very rode of ye enemy, we were preserved, onely the war had so impoverisht 236 Dewey Genealogy us that many times were we ready to leave the place, and many did, yea many of those that were in full communion in other places, for their number in all being but nine, four of them removed." The winter of 1675-6 was a mild one, and while hostilities were temporarily suspended the towns busied themselves in fortifying their plantations and houses with sticks of wood set in the ground, which formed a rude fence; leaving small garrisons in these forts the troops departed for active service in the eastern part of the colony. In the spring of 1676, the General Court becoming awakened to the exposed position that their frontier settlements were in, ordered a concentration of the inhabitants at Springfield; the order was issued March twentieth and ended with these most discouraging words : — " If you people be avrse from our advice, we must be necessitated to draw off our forces from them, for we cannot spare them, nor supply them with ammunition." Thus the town was left to take care of itself, but the men of the period were no cowards and resolutely and successfully carried the town through the war to an era of prosperity. On the 26th of March 1676 " The town considering the hand of God upon us in having or letting loos the Indians upon us, so that now we cannot carry on our occasion for liberty, had us formerly; and considering that it is not a time now to advance our state, but tardy our rate of our former advantage, that so we may carry on something together for the good of the whole, that so by God's blessing on our labours we may be in a way of getting food for our families, therefore in case the honored court laid not cost or repose, we agree to carry on as fol- oweth, we agree to fence only the northeast field and carry more to for his hand tender, so as he shall ben called on, and we agree to plow and sow and carry on the improvements of this field in general, that is such as shall agree hereunto as it shall be ordered by some men that we shall appoint, who shall go out to work and we shall tarry at home from day to day, and if it shall please God to give opportunity to rate the long fit of labouring; men shall resume an equal proportion according to his family; Necessary, public charges, be any, first charged and the test, if any man sow more seed than his proportion he shall reserve that again in the first plan. The men chosen to order the whole matter for service and forming are Goodman Ashlay Seignior and Goodman Gunn; we who agree hereunto do promise and engage to submit ourselves to the said proportion thereof as witness our hands: — George Phelps, Josiah Dewey, Thomas Gunn, Nathaniel Weller, Samuel Loomis, Thomas Dewey, Isaack Phelps, John Sackett, David Ashley, Edward Neal. " At a Town Meeting, Mar. 26, 1676. George Phelps, Thomas Gunn, Samuel Loomis, Isaac Phelps, David Ashley, Josiah Dewey, Nathaniel AND Family History. 237 Weller, Thomas Dewey, John Sackett and Edward Neal agree to fence the North-east Field and carry on the improvement of this land in general. Thomas Dewey and Thomas Root were appointed Fence Veiwers for the year ensuemg Mar. 12, 1677, for the Southfield of the river. Voted: — That Thomas Dewey shall maintain a sufficient gate on the county road on the south side the river where it is or shall be ordered in lew of fence for that piece of land in the Fort Meadow that he bought of John Root, which he expected and agreed to perform. Mr. Dewey was a representative to Boston 1677-9, selectman 1677 and 1686, licensed by the court " to keep a Publique house of Entertainment," Sep. 26, 1676; took the freeman's oath Sep. 28, 1680; on a committee to locate the county road to Windsor, March 30, 1680, with Samuel Marshfield and Thomas Cooper of Springfield and David Ashley of Westfield; appointed cornet of Hampshire Troop at the General Court July 8, 1685; joined the Church May 9, 1680. Two centuries ago it was considered " contrary to honeft and fober order and Demeanor, not becoming a wildernefs state; at Leaft ye Profefsion of Chrisftianity and Religion " to wear " silk in a slanting manner and long hair and other extravagances beyond ones means or station; " and we find Hugh Dudley and wife, Elizabeth Cooke and Mary Fowler of Westfield before the Court for disobeying this law. Ensign Samuel Loomis and George Phelps were fined for absence from jury at the September term 1674; Walter Lee and Henry Glover had another land case for settlement and the next January cases of witchcraft from Northampton were tried. At the March term 1675 Thomas Dewey was a juryman, John Sacket was sworn constable for Westfield and Lieut. Thomas Cooper of Springfield requested the County to pay him for setting broken bones as he seems to have had hard work of getting anything from his patients. No Court was held in September 1675 on account of the war with the Indians. In September 1681 Thomas Dewey of Westfield and Samuel Ely of Spring- field were warned to renew their licenses to sell liquor. At the same term Thomas Noble petitioned that " the road for horses be laid without ye field for carts continueing as already it is." The committee appointed (Saml. Marshfield and Joseph Bedortha of Springfield and Thomas Dewey and Isaac Phelps of Westfield) reported that it was a small matter, only one place being bad and there Noble had made a bridge. He was instructed to finish the bridge and the town to pay him. At the fall term 1682, Lieut. Wm. Clark and Capt. Cook of Northampton were appointed to view the land Lieut. John Mosely claimed damages on when the Order for Compact Dwelling was carried into effect. The town of Westfield was given liberty to dispose of lands southwest of the Country road against the dwelling of Thomas Dewey, and were to layout the said road six rods wide on firm ground. She was also in Court for not providing a ganger and packer but 238 Dewey Genealogy was discharged when Josiah Dewey gave good reasons, and Eleazur Weller was appointed ganger and packer for the town. Thomas Noble and Eleazur Weller were made freemen. The law for the suppression of excessive apparel seems to have become a deadletter, as the Selectmen of Springfield, Northampton, Hadley, Hatfield, and Westfield were presented for not assessing persons that wore " silks and other forbidden apparel beyond their rank or what the law allows." They were ordered to meet in their respective towns and see to the execution of the laws. At the March Court 1683, James Cornish obtains a verdict against George Sexton for " wrong- fully taking and using hay without leave," 40 shillings and costs of ^r^i 7 shillings 6 pence for plaintiff, Samuel Loomis was present at the Court.

Oct. 28, 1804, ag. 77, at Poultney, Vt. where he had located about 1773, on the site now occupied by Beaman's hotel. But here, as he said, " the neighbors became too near and too numerous," and so he sold out and retired to the head of Hampshire Hollow, on the farm now occupied by his grandson, B. F. Dewey. At that time, as the clearing extended only to the town hill, to reach his house it was necessary to follow blazed trees. In June, 1773, the settlers executed the following document, which is of value as a relic of the times. "Poultney, June the 14 — Y. 1773. We, the Subscribers that have hereunto set our hands, have Cdvenanted as follows: for to Bare our Equelle Part in giving one fifty acres of Land out of our undevided Land or Cays, To Be Payd in some sort of Murchant- abell Speesheys our Equaletey, for the Settlement of a Midwife.

Elijah Owen, Joseph Hyde, Zebulon Tubbs, John Owen, Isaac Ashley, Azel Holms, Isaac Craw, Cotton Fletcher, Jacob How, The majority of these men, Zebediah Dewey among them, were with Ethan Allen at the taking of Fort Ticonderoga, May 10, 1775. Said an old man: " The call to arms, for the fight at Hubbardtown, July 7, 1777, and that at Bennington, Sat., Aug. 16, 1777, was responded to by all the men in town (Poultney) save one, and he an invalid." The French and Indians drove the Americans from Hubbardtown, and the women and children of Hubbardtown, Poultney and surrounding towns were compelled to hurriedly flee before them. When the women and children arrived at Pownal and drew up before the tavern, Mrs. Zebediah Dewey made the direct inquiry of the landlord, saying: " I am Captain of this company, and wish to know whether you are a Tory, if so we shall go on, if not we shall remain." But the house being full already, they were' quartered in a log meeting house, AND Family History. 259 where during the night they were alarmed by the approach of some redcoats who were reconnoitering around. Mrs. Zebediah Dewey called on the " men " to load their guns, and picking up an old musket, she rattled the ramrod up and down the barrel, and then pointing it out the window, soon accomplished the desired retreat of the enemy. Their husbands joined them for a few days, when they were sent to their old homes for awhile, all finally returning to their Vermont homes, after Burgoyne's defeat at Saratoga. Zebediah Dewey appears as Lieut, in Capt. Daniel Whiting's Co., Col. Jonathan Brewer's Regt., commissioned June 17, 1775; on return for cart- ridge boxes dated Cambridge, June 18, 1775; as Lieut. Aug. i, 1775, enlisted April 24, 1775, from Tyringham, Mass.; on a company return dated Oct. 6, 177s ; also in a list of officers in Mass. militia as Lieut, in Capt. Daniel Whiting's Co. of the Middlesex County Regt. He was a bold, resolute lover of the chase and hunt. In appearance, about five feet ten inches in height, slim, but very muscular, small, keen black eyes, dark hair; inclining to stoop at the shoulders; of strong, sanguine temperament; good mind, judgment, and sound common sense; hence, just the man to be selected, as he was on the isth of Jan., 1777, to represent Poultney at the convention which adopted the " Vermont Declaration of Independence," and declared the District known as the New Hampshire Grants, as a free and independent State to be known as " New Connecticut, alias Vermont." At a town meeting held March 11, 1777, " A Committee of Safety was appointed con- sisting of Zebediah Dewey, Nehemiah Howe, William Ward, John Grant, and Heber Allen, with instructions to join the General Committee of Safety of the New Hampshire Grants." Was listed at 59 pounds, the third richest man in the town, Oct. 4, 1781. The chief attraction to Zebediah Dewey in removing to the " Hampshire Hollow " was the hard wood and good hunting found there. "But for this," his youngest daughter, Keziah, said, " we might have been village belles, instead of wood nymphs." Tradition says that Zebediah Dewey was the first Capt. of Militia in Poultney, but that he obtained the rank of Major at the Battle of Hubbardtown. He m. widow SOLOMON JACKSON, who had a dau. who m.

" Mrs. Dewey was a resolute, strong-minded woman, capable and well calculated to bring up a large family in the wilds of Vermont; generous, kind and self-reliant. For many years she was the raidvyife of this region, and many of the older inhabitants (in 1875) remembered her as she rode on her little gray pony about town, on her errands of mercy. Her old side-saddle is still in good repair. Some time after the Major's death she lived with her son Azariah at the old homestead until she married Thomas Ashley, one of the two first settlers of Poultney; he died soon after, and she returned to the old Dewey homestead, where she died." 26o Dewey Genealogy SIXTH GENERATION — Born in Mass. etc. - 91.

Amherst and fought in nearly all the battles of that campaign. 264 Dewey Genealogy At the close of tlie war, having served for six years, he returned home, there to remain until his country again called for his services in the Revolu- tionary straggle. Soon after April, 1775, he joined the troops at Cambridge, and May 19 received a commission as lieutenant in Col. Timothy Danielson's regiment; Dec, 1776, found him a colonel in the Continental army. He aided in the retreat from Long Island in Sept., 1777, and in 1780 was com- missioned a general under Lafayette, where he continued till the close of the war. He fought in 22 battles, establishing a high character of bravery and sound judgment. After the restoration of peace, he again returned to the duties of the farm, and like most of the other patriots of the time, after serving his country for a number of years with small reward, became an industrious and peaceful citizen. Being a brigadier-general of the Hampshire County militia, he was ordered out to put down the insurrection of Shays, in 1786. He placed his command in defense of the arsenal at Springfield, being informed that the insurgents meditated its capture. When the misguided men approached, under the command of Shays, Gen. Shepard ordered them to retire on penalty of death. Taking no notice of the command and thinking that the government troops would not dare to fire, they advanced within 50 rods of the battery. A discharge was directed to their right and left and then over their heads, but still they advanced till the next volley directed at their centre drove them into confusion from which they never rallied. When the smoke arose three of the insurgents were found dead and a fourth mortally wounded. Thus, after forbearance had failed, was anarchy and misrule suppressed and order restored by the decision of arms. General Shepard was a presidential elector in 1789 and 1792; a member of the executive council of his State, 1792-6; and a representative in Con- gress, 1797-1803. He was appointed by the government of Massachusetts to treat with the Penobscot Indians, and afterwards by the national govern- ment to treat with the Six Nations. Not only was he a brave military officer, but possessed traits of character which made him respected as a citizen, and* beloved as a relative and friend. •On April 29, 1789, he was chosen a deacon of the First Congregational church in Westfield, and retained the office until his death, 28 years after. His plain, unpainted, two-story house stood on the south side of Shepard lane, now Franklin street, about half a mile west of Elm street, until a few years since. A plain stone marks his resting place in the centre of the old burying yard of Westfield bearing this inscription: " Hon. William Shepard | died | Nov. 16, 1817, I aged 80. | He fought the battles of his Country, | Aided in the councils of his Nation, | and Exemplified the character of the Christian.

March 27th, 1872, he was made a Royal and Select Master; in September following was elected Right Illustrious Master of Washington Council, No. 4, and in September, 1874, was called to preside over the Council — a position he filled until 1878, when the separate Council organization was dis- pensed with in Iowa, and the Council merged into the Chapter. At the Grand Conclave of 1882, Sir Knight Dewey was appointed Grand Warder of the Grand Commandery; in 1884 he was elected Grand Captain-General; in 1885 Deputy Grand Commander; and in 1886 he was advanced to the head of the lines; has been a constant attendant upon the Grand Lodge since 1877. In 1892 he was elected Grand Senior Warden, and in 1897 was honored by a decisive majority vote on the first ballot as Grand Master; his legal training and judicial cast of mind have made his services valuable and in constant demand on the Jurisprudence Committee in the various Grand Masonic bodies, and he has honored these various appointments; m.

When Westfield Church was organized, August 27, 1679, each one of the seven foundation men gave in his religious experience; Josiah Dewey brought a letter from Northampton Church as introduction to the new one; was ordained the first deacon December 28, 1692; his son Ebenezer is the first baptism recorded on the old church book under date, 6 month, 31 day, 1679, old style. The following is really the autobiography of Josiah Dewey up to this time and is entitled " The Relation of Sargt.. Josiah Dewey." The Discovery of what God hath done for my soule to y' praise of his Grace I shall endeavor to lay down as follows: Being about 13 years old God was pleased to give me some discovery of my miserable state by nature y' I might look to him for grace tho I did it veably & unsteadily. About my i6th year hearing Mr. Benton on that " If y* righteous scarcely be saved where shall y" wicked and ungodly appear," I began to be more affected with mine own State & to be struck with fear of death & wrath & being much perplext in myself fearing its approach & my unprepared state for it, I thought if sickness came upon me I would send for y° Elders, & desire their prayers for me, hoping that y° prayers of y' faith might availe me much. [383] 384 Dewey Genealogy In my 17th year God visited me w'" sore sickness & long w""" did greatly exercise my thoughts. But yet I neglecting former resolutions of senaing for the Elders to pray for me & now y° counsels of parents, & christian friends to get an interest in. Christ, took some hold upon me. But yet upon my recovery y° delights & valities of youth began to take much w* me but could not follow them without gripes & galls of conscience & was by restraining grace, brought off thence stout yet I put off repentance promising to do it afterwards. ■~- But coming under Mr. Mather's Ministry at Northampton, I met w* many close convictions, that forced me to private Duties, against w'^' Satan laid in many excuses as want of time & place, being a servant, yea I was fully convinct y' that must be a great change wrougt in my heart, or else I was like to be a miserable creature. When I was entred into a married state I saw myself now under former ingagemnts of attending heart-searching & hearing Mr. Mather on the hearts hardness assert that there was no plague like unto that, I was affrighted thereat & soon after hearing Mr. Eliot (-now of Gilford) on a lecture sermon was so awakend as to resolve no longer to delay but to fall to search my own heart. But I found it hard & difficult work to keep my mind to it & sometimes I found that my heart would slip from ye work almost as soon as I was at it. So that I could find little rest. But after awhile God dis- covered ye sin of Pride to me, wch I lest suspected & now in a bewilded condition I knew not what to do & advising with my Parents they directed me to Mr. Mather to whom at ye length I forced an attempt & making known to him how it was with I desired his help & direction, who told me I was under ye striving of God's Spirit & after much consell, & incouragm"" told me I must labour to so fachan evill in Sin & such a beauty in holiness, yt if there was no Hell to punish nor heaven to reward I must chuse ye way of Holiness; wch as I mused on, I thot I never shoute attain unto finding my heart so in love with sin, yet finding a thirsting desire after Righteous- ness I was incouraged by that Mat. 5 blessed are they yt hunger & thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled & as God was going on with me he discovered unto me Sin against Light, & cheifly against Gospel Love in God's Sending his Son to poor Sinners, wch was heart melting consideration Afterwards, as I was alone meditating it pleased God to let a glimpse of his Glory, & of ye Beauty & Excellencie of Jesus Christ & now my heart was much raised & revived hoping now I could choose ye wayes of Christ for ye beauty I Saw therein then going & giving Mr. Mather an account thereof, he incouraged me as being in ye way, & bed me go a lone & strive to se yt all I had been to be nothing & I should finde my heart, either to sink under Discouragmt or to be stout, or to be careless but I could not bear ye thoughts hereof as to think I was so mistaken, but durst not reject this advice wherefore when I was alone I found my heart sin — under discour- agm°' when almost overborn — being thus wounded by this Physician I being desirous to try another; & therefore making my state known to Mr. Eliot, he after many cautious & serious Quotations gave me this advise, to wit, to labour to make deep work & to go deep, & for incouragm"' told me yt I should have ye comfort of it; & by way of direction herein, he advised me to live much in ye observing ye working of corruptions of mine own heart, ye wch indeavouring after I found through grace greatly beneficiall to ye subduing this heart of mine. Hereby I found a bent of heart to sin & continuall boylings, bubblings of corruptions in all my thoughts, Branch of Josiah. 385 words, Duties, & performances, wch made me with shame of heart to loath myself & cry out, oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death but ye following words somewhat relieved me viz. thank be to God through Jesus Christ. Oh ye swarmes of iniquities yt came in upon me beseeging me on every side hereby & now I was ashamed of mine own righteousness, I was now carryed out with such an indignation against mine own heart, yt many times laying hold on my brest, me thot could I come at it I could even tare out of my Body, & cast it away & now I saw I was undone, without a saviour & hence ye price of Christ was raised in my Lord yet I had hope in yt Christ sd. he came to seek such as are a lost. But if I should have a Saviour oh what free Grace & mercy did that appear, wherefore I resolved to wait upon him if it was to my dving day resolving if I perished I would perish in a way of dutie waiting at ye footstoole of mercy. But a little while after this hearing * Mr. Mather upon John 6: 37 all yt ye father hath given me shall come unto me & whosoever comes unto me, I will in no wise cast off, resolved to come unto Christ with earnestness; wch was to believe him, I took aS' ye voice of Christ to me calling me to believe on him, yet I could find no ability to me a step towards him, & was sorely pincht at heart on this account. But hearing not long after Mr. Eliot on Ps. 119 uphold me by thy word; let not be ashamed of my hopes, show what good Hopes were, I was much revived, rejoycing in hope yt ye Lord had sown ye seeds of grace in my heart & was much lightened of ye load my heart had lain under & ye 4th day after hearing some private christians discoursing of free grace, & an Excellent way thereby of out doing Satan by granting all 3't Satan could say of or sinfulness & vileness, & yet turning upon him ye conclusion thus & what if Christ will save me, Satan what is that to thee I was greatly raised thereat- & going away into ye field & musing thereon, I felt a strong perswasion arise in me of ye Love of God in Christ through ye riches of Grace as made me cry out my Lord & m}' God, my Saviour & my Redeemer, passing on as it were in a heavenly Rapture & inflamed with these Considerations, on a sudden ye whole face of things seeing to be changed, & I hurd me thoughts as it were these words, a Pardon, a Pardon Christ hath purchased a Pardon. At wch I was astonisht as it were & to think of ye wonderfull Free Grace of God, yt ever a Pardon, & ye manifestation of it should ever be bestowed on such an unworthy sinner, as I was, & now my heart was as it were swallowed up with admiring & praising God yt for sometime, especially in private Duties I could & was strongly persuaded of mine own Salvation so that God with- drawing himself again let me se my own weakness; so that I could not think of ye Psalmist saying thus I said in my Prosperity 1 shall never be moved, but thou hidest thy face & I was troubled.

Witness John Strong Elizebath Strong The following extracts from the town records of Westfield go to shew the influential part he at once took in the affairs of the new town: " At a town meeting held Feb. 8, 1667-8 Granted to Josiah Dewey, by the town, that land that was reserved for a highway by Goodman Gunn's Branch of Josiah. 387 lot in the plain and such other land as may be between this lot and the river or Samuel Taylor's land. Goodman Gunn having just measured the length and breadth; on condition that the said Josiah Dewey doth express it as satisfaction for what he exprest from the town on account of building the minister's house; and that he make and maintain a gate into that field, pro- vided he come and settled in the town again." In Dec. 1669, the smith, Samuel Taylor, and Josiah Dewey were granted thirty acres and homelots and the remainder of what was laid out for Ser- jeant Stebbins, the twenty acres Joseph Leeds had forfeited and " liberty to take by the west in Newfoundland," (near Crane's Upper Mill) or elsewhere. The following is interesting as showing the economic condition at this period: The price of corn was fixed at 15 pence, and wheat at 3 shillings 6 pence a bushel. Coin was scarce at this period, although Massachusetts had started a mint in 1652 to coin pine tree shillings, so beaver, wampum and produce passed as currency. Wampum consisted of beads made from the coils of seashells and sewed to deerskin in the form of belts. A " f adom ' ' of wampum was equal to 60 pence, but the value was liable to vary; furs were second in value, only, to the precious metals. Beaver at 6 shillings a pound was considered a fair exchange for English goods at 30 per cent, profit, with freight added; and accounts were balanced in beaver. In 1662 the colonies ceased to receive wampum as lawful money, but it was in cir- culation as long as the Indian lasted. Fences were to be made up by March, 1676, and if any neglected to come out and work they were to be fined five shillings; if swine were impounded the owners were to pay twelve pence; in December, 1676, the minister, Mr. Taylor, was allowed 60 pounds for his labors for the year, the rate to be obtained from land. During King Philip's war Josiah Dewey was sergeant of the guard at Westfield, and the following is one of the orders to which his name was signed: " Thes as to Ceartiefie whom itt may Concearn that we whose names are hear under written doe give Leve unto thes tow Solgers George Maninge and William Rodgers to g"oe to Boston Alsoe from thens to Retturn unto us againe Iff the governor and Counsell hinder not as witness or hands Aaron Poole (Cook) Samuel Loomes Josiah Dewey Comitey of Malicia. Westfield, August 4th 1676." He was one of the signers to the remonstrance to the order for the aban- donment of the settlement at Westfield, April 28, 1676. He was also one of those that agreed to fence the Northeast Field at Westfield and carry on the improvement in general; was juror at the adjourned court at Northampton in the same month; the next August his town voted " That Josiah Dewey 388 Dewey Genealogy. be a committee to confer with the rest of the house in this county about our bounds; " in November, 1678, it was voted "that Serjant Dewey, Samuel Root, Ebenezer Weller, and David Ashley are chosen to apprise the land of the town; to be paid for their time and what they spend about it; " in January next was one of three " to determine where we shall sit in the meet- ing house; " was sealer in 1679, " the town having voted to give Mr. Taylor (the minister) every one a day's work, they have chosen David Ashley and Josiah Dewey to call men to that work as they shall see fit; " was appointed with John Sackett, Sr., and David' Ashley to lay out and record all high- ways necessary, February 4, 1690; was selectman of Westfield in 1672, '77, '79, '80, '89, and '94. At the court held in September, 1677, he was "allowed of to be sealer of weights and measures for y® town of Westfield; " was on the coroner's jury in September, 1684, which met to determine the cause of death ot Eleazer Weller, who suicided at Westfield. The following Westfield men took the freeman's oath September 28, 1680: Thomas Dewey, Jedediah Dewey, John Hanchet, Joseph Pomeroy, Nathn. Weller, Samuel Root, and David Ashley, Mr. Daniel Denton of Springfield, also. In March, 1681, Josiah Dewey complained of Griffeth Joanes, of Springfield, for slander and defamation. At the adjourned Court held in Northampton March 29, 1676, Josiah Dewey was a juryman. John Gun was presented for contempt of authority and reviling speeches and warned to appear at the next Court. John Lee was to be " whipt on the naked body with 15 strynes " for resisting a constable. Josiah Dewey was one of the proprietors of Lebanon, Conn., and there in 1695, assisted the first four proprietors. Mason, Stanton, Brewster, and Burchard, to distribute the homelots and divide the common land. He sold his land at Westfield, April 6, 1696, to Samuel Loomis. The following, from " Early Lebanon," published in 1880 by Messrs. Hine and Morgan, gives the events which preceded the settlement of the town: " Lebanon, and the counties of Tolland and Windham, Conn., were claimed by the Indian chief IHiCAS, who, appreciating the bravery of the settlers under Capt. John Mason at the destruction of Mystic fort in 1637, and in order to make friends with them, decided, and did cede to certain ones of them lands. " Norwich, prior to 1666, had purchased lands, up to the line which divides Franklin and Lebanon. " In 1663-65, the General Assembly granted to Cagt John Mason, for meritorious services, five hundred acres of land; he selected land in the southwestern part of the town of, now Goshen. " In 1666, the General Assembly granted to Rgy. James Fitch one hun- dred and twenty acres, adjoining the lands of Capt. John Mason. Subse- Branch of Josiah. 389 quently, Owenece, son and successor of Uncas, gave to the Rev. James Fitch a tract of land five"~^iles long by one mile wide, next to the above Tracts of Fitch and Mason and along the Franklin line. Known as ' Fitche's or Mason and Fitche's mile.' " "Owenece, by deed of Sept. 6, 1692, conveyed to Samuel Mason, and John Stanton of Stonington, and Benjamin Brewster and John Burchard of Norwich, Conn., a tract, called the ' Five Mile Purchase,' adjoining and northwest of the ' Fitch and Mason mile.' This sale was confirmed to fifty- one grantees, from Mason, Stanton, Brewster and Burchard, by the General Assembly, on Jan. 4, 1700. Among those fifty-one grantees are the names of JosialL__I2eKey, Senr., John Dewey, Nathaniel Dewey, and Josiah Dewey, Jr. " Adjoining this ' Five Mile Purchase, 'on the north and northwest, was the ' William Clark & Josiah Dewey, Sr." purchase, made by AVilliam Clark of Saybrook, Conn., an 1 Jpsiah Dewey, Sr., of Northampton, Mass., in 1700, of Owenece and Abimelech, Indian chiefs, and descendants of Uncas. This purchase embraced the northern portion of the town of Lebanon, as it now is, and a part, and perhaps the whole of Columbia. " The actual settlement of this plantation of Lebanon began in 1695 and its increase appears to have been rapid. The Clarks, the Deweys^__the_ Trumbulls, Tuppers and the Strongs were among the first settlers. " The inhabitants held a meeting in 1698, and the earliest record of the settlement of Lebanon was then made. Lebanon was organized as a town in 1700, und?r permission of the General Court of 1699, and was to have a church and ' orthodoxe minister.' " The following, taken from the first book of Lebanon town records, shows the bounds of the town as purchased: " Lebanon, January 3d, if^|-. At att a Town meeting The worshipful Capt. Samuell Mason Haveing Delivered to the town a Coppie of the original Deed of the five Miles square of Land purchased by him- Selfe and other Gentlemen, of oeneco, and together therewith A confirmation of all the Lands Contained within the said five miles as theirin expressed as also a Confirmation of the Ten lotts Granted to be att the Dispose of Deacon Josiah Dewey & John Woodward, and all other particular grants made by the said Proprietors The 'Town do a- ' How and axcept of what hath bin done by the said Capt.

This pased by the uenanimous vote of y" town At the same time thay voted and Granted that Deacon Josiah Dewey shall have halfe a lott in Consideration of what charg and trouble he hath ben at in settling of the place At the same time it was agreed and voated by the towne That the bounds of the said town shall bee as followeth, to begin At Capt John Masons Norwest Corner tree and from thence to 390 Dewey Genealogy. Run a west Line five Miles and from thence a south southwest line to make a parallel line with Norwich south line & from Thence to Norwich south west corner and from thence bounded by Norwich to the first station these being the bounds agreed to by the Inhabitants with the Consent of the proprietors Wee Doe Desire the General Courts aprobation and Confier- mation of the same — voated. At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Town of Lebanon and With the purchisors of said township in June 1698 Deacon Josiah Dewey & Mr. John Woodward ware opoynted for to Lay out lots in the said town Samuel Mason Benjamin Brewston John Birchard It was ordered and apointed at the same meeting that Deacon Josiah Dewey, John Woodward, William Clarke, Edward Colver and Jedediah Strong shall be surveyors or aney Three of them to Lay out the first Division." The list of homelots from south to north as laid out on the east side the highway is as follows: Thomas Hutchinson, Jed. Strong, Stephen Lee, Caleb Chappell, V/iiliam Clark, John Woodward, Jr., John Dewey, Micah Mudge, D ^ea. Josiah Dew ey, Nathaniel Dewey, John Woodward, Sr., Richard ^.unon, Sam£el__Hijiiiliinson, John Hutchinson, Joseph Thomas, John Webster, Joseph Pumery, Josiah Deweyj_Jj:-, John Gilet, Lieut. Exesize Connant, T homas R oot, andJosepnMarsh, Nov. i, 1695; all had signed in Dec, 1697, except Thomas Root, whose lot went to John Woodward. In 1700, William Clark and Deacon Josiah De wey, Sr ., bought of Oweneco, Abimelech an3~others a large tract~oi~[and~north of Lebanon and the " 5 mile purchase," and adjoining it, which they desired and proposed to annex to the Lebanon plantation. This was objected to by Lebanon settlers, from a fear that the Clark and Dewey settlers, uniting with some of the more northerly settlers of their own, would soon be clamorous for a removal of the meeting house nearer to them. To allay this fear, Clark and Dewey agreed to lay out a street for a village, and for a meeting-house thereon, stating that their purchase was large enough for a society by itself, and that the agreement about the location of the town street and meeting-house should never be violated or disturbed. These terms and conditions were satisfactory: The new tfact was annexed to Lebanon, the new street laid out, and a location fixed for a meeting-house upon it; and the place has ever been known as "the village." But this was only the beginning of trouble for the " meeting house on the old location," and after much trouble and litigation it was finally settled by the Supreme Court in 1806, by permitting it to remain in the old place. •Although the plantation of Lebanon was not invested with " Town Privileges," until October, 1700, and could not therefore choose and invest Branch of Josiah. 391 with legal authority, any town officers, yet, as a matter of necessity and in accordance with the custom of the time in other unorganized settlements, they did, in form, choose selectmen or "' townsmen " as they were called, and some other officers. Thus in 1698, May 31, they elected as " towns- men " Dgaeog^J osiah ^ De^fjsy, John Woodward, Sr., and William Clark. 1699, March 15, the same three men were continued to December and Wm. Holton and John Mason were added. In December, the same year, Deacon Josiah Dewey,- John Baldwin, Wm. Holton, Joseph Bradford, and William Clark were chosen as " townsmen." ■ The Connecticut Assembly, confirmed the agreement of the inhabitants of Windham and Lebanon, for a dividing line, commencing near the mouth of Hoop river, and then to run a straight line to a white oak tree, which is the northeast corner bounds of a tract of land bought by Deacon (JosiaXi)- Dewie, and Mr. William Clerke of Lebanon of Mr. Buckingham and Lieut. Clerk of Saybrook, the tree marked with I. D.- and W. C, Sept. 23, 1701; and the deeds for lands to the Rev. Mr. Thomas Buckingham, Capt. John Clerk of Saybrook, and others, that were partly on and adjoining land sold by Reverend Mr. Thomas Buckingham and Captain John Clerk of Saybrook, to Deacon Josiah Dewie and William Clerk, both of Lebanon. The said land adjoins the towns of Windham and Lebanon, in Oct., 1704. The Court confirmed the " Five Mile Purchase " to Samuel Mason, John Burchard, Benjamin Bruster, John Stanton, RialM*d-JL4Dian, Sr., T OSIAH QEWEY, Sr., — JOSIAIL ^DEWEY, J r., — JOHN DEWEY, — NA- THCTTEL DEWEY, and others to the number of 51, in May, 1705. (See Colonial Records of Conn.) After this the Deweys sold their original lots and moved to the northern part of the town. The First Church at Lebanon was organized in 1700, and on the 12th of November, 1700, Josiah Dewey, Sr., received his " dismission " from West- field Church to the one at Lebanon, where he afterwards acted as Deacon ; the second society was organized in 1716 and was known as Lebanon North Parish or Lebanon Crank until the town of Columbia was set off in 1804.

He was the youngest in a family of fourteen children, and passed his childhood among the Berkshire Hills in Massachusetts; when about seven his father removed with family to Wayne, Ohio, and there, in the uncertain schools of that new settlement, he made a beginning in the way of education. On arriving at manhood decided to enter the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and after he had completed his studies at Western Reserve College, Hudson, Ohio, entered the Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Va., where after graduation was ordained by Bishop Moore in 1841. His life in the ministry was one of untiring zeal, until the- failure of his health obliged him to give up all active work, when he retired to Painesville, O., and there made his home the remainder of his life. He was a man of dignified and distinguished appear- ance, six ft. in height, with black eyes and black hair. Although some- what reserved in manner, he was genial in his nature, and took, great interest in the "Masons" and "Knights Templar," of both of which he was an enthusiastic member. He traveled extensively, and numbered among his friends many men distinguished in church and state. He died at the age of 77, and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Fremont, Ohio, not far from the grave of President Hayes, whose friendship he enjoyed during many years of his life: he had i, Emma Lydia, b.

May 2, 1819, ag. 95, where he was a cabinet maker and farmer in the northern part of the town; stood 6 feet high, very strong physically; on his ninetieth birthday walked to a neighbor's, a mile away, carrying his tools on his back, and made a new mould board for a plow; they used wood in those days. His great great granddaughter, Mrs. Henry, of Rockville, Conn., still cherishes a fine set of bureau drawers he made out of curled maple. He lived on the old homestead east of Chestnut Hill, a few rods south of Ten Mile river, which is the dividing line between old Leba- non and Columbia, and built a new house near the old one of his father's, which is described by a three times great grandson of his, John Stevens Dewey, of Andover, Conn., as follows; under date of November 16, 1896: " The old homestead was a large, two story and a half house; had once been red and once 5'eilow, but in my day had very little paint on it. A great stone and fireplace in each of the large rooms, both down ana up stairs; in the kitchen, which originally went nearly the whole length of the house on the west side, the fireplace was very large, all of eight if not ten feet wide, with seats in the chimney corner; in my day the middle of the fireplace was closed and each end had a large closet for stove wood. I used to play house in the closets. The house was in Lebanon, but some of the farm in Columbia, the Ten Mile river, which ran through an old meadow, being the boundary line. There was once another house a few rods from where this new house which I am speaking of stood; a little of the cellar can still be seen. That was the first Dewey homestead at that place. I have heard my father say that in old times, during very severe winter weather, they used to draw, with a Branch of Josiah. 407 horse, into the kitchen great oak and hickory backlogs and roll them into this old fireplace; these logs wouldn't be entirely consumed for more than a week." The house was burned in 1893. There are marked rocks on the old place bearing the letters R K., and traditions say the treasure of Capt. Kidd was buried there. The following from the diary of Sally Ann Dewey describes his death: " Grandfather Solomon died so suddenly on the ist Monday in May (1819). Arose in the morning, ate breakfast as usual, read a chapter and prayer in his family. Went out the door and fell on the step; Lucinda (Asahel's wife), saw him through the window and called help. They got him into his bedroom when he sat on his bed side, feet on the floor, when he fell back and died. Had his reason till the last and knew people; went out like a candle — so easy." ^ His tombstone in Columbia old cemetery reads thus: " In memory of | Mr. SOLOMON DEWEY | who died suddenly | May 2 A. D. 1819 | aged 95. I How earth confines in narrow room | what saints departed leave | behind the skies." The following is his will: I, Solomon Dewey of Lebanon, in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut, this first day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and three, being far advanced in life but enjoying a comforta- ble state of health and of sound and disposing mind and memory, for which I bless God calling to mind my own mortality do make this my last Will and Testament and first and principally I recommend my soul to the hands of God, the giver thereof, and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent manner, trusting in the mercies of God and the Merits of the Redeemer for a happy immortality beyond the grave, and as to such worldly estate where- with it hath pleased God to bless me I dispose thereof in the following man- ner, viz.: To my well beloved wife Elizabeth Dewey I give during her life the use and improvement of One third of my Real Estate and also I give to her to be her own absolute property the One third part of all the per- sonal Estate I shall have at my Decease.

Y., in the year of our Lord 1799. During the month of February he and his wife, whose maiden name was Ann Bement, came the whole distance with a yoke of oxen attached to a sled, driving two cows through the snow and bitter cold weather. When they arrived at Utica they found the road in a bad shape, only the trees having been removed from the path. The letter H was cut on the trees by the roadside which stood for highway, which was done for the guidance of travelers. After suffering great privations travel- ing through the snow and zero weather, driving a yoke of oxen, two cows and a calf, for one of their cows dropped a calf on their journey, they arrived safely at their destination, being thoroughly worn out by their journey. All they had in the world was their oxen, cows, calf, sled and household goods on the sled. They ran in debt for their land, which they paid for in after years. Mr. Dewey had been out the year before, made a small clearing, Branch of Josiah. 447 sowed some wheat and put up a log house. The place he settled on was what is now known as the place where Jedediah Dewey, Jr., lived and died. He brought the place into a good state of cultivation, and left it to his family. He died at the good old age of 82 and went to his reward in Heaven, having been a devout Baptist all his days. He was a man of great force of character. Whatever he thought was right and he undertook to do he per- severed until he accomplished it, if it was among the possibilities. He was rigid in his religious observance. He was a Baptist of the olden style, as were all the Dewey family. He told his son Edmund, that is. Col. Dewey, when he became a Universalist, " Now, do not tell your children anything about it, for if you do you will ruin your whole family." He was a straight out Whig in politics, and made himself felt wherever he went. He was, as were many of our old pioneers, a grand old man; m.

This place he sold to his brother Henry in 1807 and removed to the east part of the town, " Berlin Corners," where he lived till his removal to Lunenburgh in 1851. He was constable and collector 1815-22, member of the Vt. Legislature 1820-1, and '26, a justice of the peace ten or fifteen years, generally employed in different capacities in town affairs and frequently engaged in settling the estates of descendants. His time and pecuniary means were devoted freely, accord- ing to his ability, to promote the interests of the common schools, the public library, the church and its choir, of which he was many years leader, and all measures calculated to improve the morals, intelligence or prosperity of the community. After his removal to Berlin Corners he kept a tavern several years, and that, with his public life and the common custom of the times, induced a free and finally constant use of ardent spirits which at length became so immoderate as to alarm his friends and himself. In 1829, he gave up their use, uniting with others the next year in forming the first temperance society in the town, and continued through the rest of his life a practical and consistent advocate of the cause of temperance.

S. Infantry, May 31, 1813, and was in command at Fort Hale, East Haven, Conn., in the war of 1812, when it was attacked by the British; the account as given by one of the participants follows: " The approach of the British fleet was one of the grandest sights I ever saw. They would manoeuver in the bay, and were reall}' good sailors, and their evolutions were well-nigh perfect. They approached our post, and would make a ' figure-eight ' manoeuver that was grand and intended to be awe-inspiring, and at the distance looked like a flock of giant birds sailing gracefully over the water. The British vessels could not get within range of the fort, owing to the shallow water. In the bay was a rock that jutted up out of the water like a sheaf of wheat, and the vessels remained outside this. One of them, bolder than the rest, and of lighter draught, sailed in between the fort and the rock, making the trip in safety, which was considered quite a feat by the sailors. Commander Dewey couldn't rest under the British insolence, and sought to prevent its repetition. The fort had a new gun of large caliber, and after practicing on elevation and range upon the rock. Commander Dewey decided he would try a shot at the venturesome ship the next time it passed within the inner circle. ' We shall give her a plum,' said he, ' if she ever tries it again.' " The next day the bold vessel came sailing in. When she reached the desired point, Dewey banged away with his large cannon, and sent a ball into the ship and clear through her into the water. This shot frightened the British, who thought the Americans were well supplied with heavy ordnance, and they withdrew, thoroughly satisfied to stay out of range of Dewey's markmanship. The incident gave rise to the expression, ' Dewey's plums,' as the shots were known. 'We gave her the plum,' said Dewey, ' but she let it get away from her.' " After the war he settled at Hudson, N. Y., two or three years, then moved to Bridgeville, Sullivan Co., N. Y., where he was a chair and cabinet- maker; member of N. Y. Legislature; a very good man and member of the Protestant Episcopal Church; m.

Y. Chauncey's boy life was spent on the farm, and attending, during the four winter months only, until i8io, the common schools of Hartwick. During the next four years of his life he atcended Hartwick Seminary, which had been erected under tlie bequest of an old bachelor, Mr. John C. Hart- wick, of Albany, N. Y. Chauncey helped to quarry and haul the stones for its foundation, which had been donated by his father. He took charge of some of its classes in lieu of tuition, and cut and hauled wood for the stu- dents in order to obtain money for the purchase of books, clothing, etc., boarding at home in the meantime. In the fall of 1814, when the British were threatening Sackett's Harbor, he was drafted into the militia for the purpose of defending that place; the cold weather closing that port, the British retired, and peace being declared in the following year their services were not needed. He then went to Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., where he graduated in 1820, under Dr. Eliphalet Nott. He studied law during that and the following year, 182 1, under Hon. Samuel Starkweather, of Cooperstown, N. Y. He left his home in Aug., 1821, for the far west to seek his fortune, pass- ing through Buffalo, Cleveland, Wooster, and New Philadelphia, arriving at Cadiz in Sept., 1821. When asked in larer years, as to what had decided him to locate in Cadiz, he answered, laughing gently, and looking over at his wife, said: " I found the land in Harrison county as good, if not better, than any I had seen on my way, but the sight of rosy cheeked, bright eyed Nancy Pritchard standing in the door of her father's tavern, as I drove up, I think had a great deal to do with my decision to remain in Cadiz. " His wife, laughing heartily, said, in answer to the inquiry, as to her impressions of her husband on first seeing him, said: " I was standing at the front door of our house, where the Harrison National Bank now stands, when around Branch of Josiah. 493 the corner opposite came an old sway-backed horse and an old-fashioned barouche; they drew up to the door, and out stepped Mr. Chauncey Dewey. He was a very tall, strong, healthy looking, broad shouldered, stalwart young man, with curly auburn hair, grey-blue eyes, high color, but awfully freckled and sunburned, and in a dignified manner, and with a very gentle- manly air, asked me if he could be put up. I said 'Yes, sir,' and, rushed off to tell mother what a nice young man had arrived, and that we ought to give him a good supper of chicken and waffles. Then I went off to primp, for I had to wait upon him at table. I came to the conclusion after supper that he had a decidedly pleasing personality. And I want to tell you that I caught him looking at me several times before supper was over, for I was a real good-looking girl, as all the Pritchard girls were." He sold his horse and barouche to Matthew McCoy for board; and as the law compelled him to be a citizen of the State for one year before he could be admitted to the bar, he at once began to study law under Gen. Walter B. Beebe, the leading attorney in north-eastern Ohio. He was strongh'- handi- capped by reason of that year's delay, which produced no income, so that . when he needed spare cash, he did not hesitate to go out to the farms and maul rails, plough, harvest, or any other honest labor that would produce money. His abilities, intelligence and manly qualities soon attracted the attention of the prominent men of Cadiz, as Kilgore, McBean, Olmstead, McCoy, Bingham, Beebe, Bostwick and others, and they became a coterie of life-long friends. In 1822 he opened his office and hung out his shingle, and sat down to await any coming clients. An old friend, who knew him in those early days, told the writer, " that he was a most conscientious and upright man, and determined to conduct his business on those lines, there- fore he always refused doubtful cases. One especially he remembered was where a farmer, well known in the county, brought a land case to Mr. Dewey, which he examined thoroughly and finally refused, saying to his client, that his case was not held up by the facts and that he would lose it in court. His client went around among his friends, telling that that Chauncey Dewey had refused to take his case. He at once engaged other lawyers, tried the case in court, and lost it, and then he went around betting his friends that he had found an honest lawyer; the result of this was an increase in his business." On the strength of this increase of business, and his increased admiration for Miss Pritchard, he married her in 1823, and for a honeymoon trip, walked down one square and went to housekeeping. His brother-in-law, Daniel Kilgore, sold him his wedding suit, and another brother-in-law, William Lee, made them up, both to be paid when Mr. Dewey's " ships come home." About this time he was taken in as a partner by his friends, in the pur- chase of a large tract of land, known as the " Eastport Tract " under the firm name of " Beebe, Olmstead, Dewey & Kilgore," he putting in his time 494 Dewey Genealogy. as surveyor, making sales, deeds, etc., as against tlieir capital; it proved to be a very successful speculation. He was always the strong friend, aid, and legal adviser of his friend, Mr. Daniel Kilgore, in all his speculations, as the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad, his land speculations, the telegraph line between Wheeling, Wooster, and Cleveland, and the organization of the Harrison Branch of the State Bank of Ohio. In 1836, he formed a law partnership with Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, of Steubenville, which lasted until 1842. Mr. Stanton removed in 1840 to Steubenville, then to Pittsburg, and last to Washington, where be became the " Great War Secretary " under President Lincoln. What is known as the " Dewey Home " in Cadiz, was built by Mr. Matthew McCoy, who sold it to Hon. E. M. Stanton, who occupied it with his wife, children and mother, until 1840, when he sold it to Mr. Chauncey Dewey, who lived in it until his death in 1880, and in it his widow died in 1897. .1 remember to have heard Mr. Dewey tell of his first visit to the " Great War Lord " in Washington, in 1862. " As soon as my card was handed to Mr. Stanton, I was imme- . diately ushered in, to the utter disgust of the hundred or more persons wait- ing in line for an interview; he immediately came forward and greeted me most warmly and affectionately, and said, ' My dear Chauncey, I don't know what your purpose was in coming to Washington, but let me say to you right here, that if there is anything in my power to grant to you, know- ing you as well as I do, and appreciating you as highly as I do, it is granted before you ask, for I feel that it will be a worthy request coming from so honorable a man.' He at once closed his office for the day and took me over to Arlington Heights, talking with great pleasure of the past and the present. It was a most delightful visit, and one I shall not soon forget." S. B. Shotwell, Esq., says: " Edwin M. Stanton, son of Mr. E. Stanton, a cabinetmaker in Wellsburg, W. Va., was born and lived in Steubenville, and studied law there under Daniel L. Collier. He came to Cadiz in 1836, buying the Matthew McCoy homestead, afterwards well known as the ' Dewey Mansion.' He went into partnership with Chauncey Dewey, and remained here until 1840, but the partnership existed until 1842. Chauncey Dewey was an old lawyer of the Whig persuasion, and shortly after his com- ing, Stanton was elected prosecuting attorney on the Democratic ticket, an office he held three years. " Mr. Dewey was a man of very decided ability, had graduated from Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., under the celebrated Dr. Eliphalet Nott, was a thoroughly read lawyer, under the instruction of Hon. Samuel Starkweather, of Cooperstown, N. Y., and had especial ability with a jury. Stanton was then but twenty-two years of age, broad shouldered, but light in person, weighing about 125 pounds, and about five feet eight inches in height. He was very near-sighted. The people here, at first, called him ' Little Stanton.' Branch of Josiah. 495 " He appreciated the ability and skill of his senior partner, and at once placed himself under his tutelage, and owed, much his early success to him. He would often say to us, 'Well, we are all Dewey's boys.' Often on coming into the ofiice in the morning, Mr. Dewey would say, ' Stanton, what do you think of this case? ' After Stanton had expressed his ideas, Dewey would take his pen and put the points as he thought they should be pre- sented, and hand the paper to Stanton, and Stanton invariably followed his guidance; he was his mentor. Mr. Dewey was then forty years of age. He died in 1880, aged eighty four." Stanton was very methodical, kept his papers and office in perfect order, and his industry was marvelous. He would read law sixteen hours a day and keep it up ever. I never saw a man with such capacity for work. I have known him to work all day in court and until nine o'clock at night, trying cases and then filing them, ride to Steubenville for some papers or authority bearing on the case and be back at court time next morning. Then he would get into his buggy, after riding a distance of fifty miles, and work all day as fresh as ever. Ordinarily, he cared nothing for the society of women, but he was exceed- ingly attached to his first wife. When she died he shut himself up in his room and spent days in grief. Then seeing it was breaking him down, he rallied and plunged into business. He was seemingly of a cold nature, never any gush. He was thoroughly upright, and if he had an important case he would make full preparation to win, even eating in reference to it, so as to have full possession of his powers. He was temperate, but sometimes, if he had a tight place to go through, would take a little stimulant. He spoke with ease, voice in a high key, and monotonous in manner, but strong and combative, hanging on with a bull-dog tenacity, brow-beating and ridiculing witnesses. He did not care if the whole public was against him; he would face them all and feel he was their master. Ordinarily, men would wilt under his denunciations; and sometimes feel like retorting with physical violence. He knew this, and sometimes, when the court adjourned, asked the sheriff to take his arm and accompany him to his office, as I believed for protection; this was not from cowardice, but because he felt it wise to avoid a physical combat. He stood in awe of no human being. Every man was alike to him, so far as that was concerned. His moral courage was immense; his likes and dislikes were very strong, and with his especial friends he was exceedingly social and courteous. He was profound in legal principles, a safe lawyer in a good case: but if he thought a case was desperate, would not go into court. The stories of his rough language to the people who came to the war office are true. Simon Cameron, his predecessor, when he sent for Gen. McClellan would wait for hours; when Stanton summoned him, there was no delay. 496 Dewey Genealogy. The following incident aids to illustrate the characters of both Mr. Stanton and Mr. Lincoln. The application oif a man who wanted to be appointed a chaplain in the army during Mr. Lincoln's administration was recently found among the papers of the war office. Attached to it were the following indorsements: " Dear Stanton: Appoint this man chaplain in the army. A. Lincoln." " Dear Mr. Lincoln: He is not a preacher. E. M. Stanton." " Dear Stanton: He is now. A.Lincoln." " Dear Mr. Lincoln: But there is no vacancy. E. M. Stanton." " Dear Mr. Stanton: Appoint him chaplain at large. A. Lincoln." " Dear Mr. Lincoln: There is no warrant of law for that. E. M. Stanton." " Dear Mr. Stanton : Appoint him anyhow. A.Lincoln." " Dear Mr. Lincoln: I will not. E. M. Stanton." The appointment was not made, but the papers were filed in the War Department, where they remain as evidence of Lincoln's friendship and Stanton's obstinate nerve. In 1840 Mr. Dewey formed a partnership with Mr. S. B. Shotwell, who had studied law under him, which continued until 1844, when he gave up the practice of la.v. From the formation of the Ohio Life and Trust Company in 183s, until it closed its business in 1857, he was its agent in Harrison county. In the fall of 1847 the Harrison branch of the State Bank of Ohio was organized, of which he was a director, and in which he took an active interest. On the death of its first president, Daniel Kilgore, he in 1850 was elected as its president, which position he held until it was merged into the Harrison National Bank in 1865, and from that time until his death in 1880. In 1841 he was elected as senator to the Onio Legislature from the Belmont- Harrison district for the term of two years, but resigned it before his term was out, thus ending all political life. In 1841 he was a member of the State Board of Equalization. In politics he was always conservative in his views, first as a Whig, afterwards as a Republican. About 1870 he became a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Cadiz, of which he had been an attendant for more than forty 3'ears. He had large land interests in the west, owned a large amount of stock in the Riverside Steel and Iron Works, of Wheeling, and in several of its insur- ance companies. He was a director in the old Steubenville and Indiana Railroad from its conception, and was largely instrumental in the reorganiza- tion as the P. C. & St. L., remaining as one of its directors for many years. He was also largely interested in the Jefferson Insurance Company of Steu- benville, and the Amazon Insurance Company of Cincinnati. His neighbors say of him, " Perhaps no man who has ever lived in Cadiz has left the imprint of his life and character in it in a more marked degree than has Mr. Dewey. Of unquestionable integrity, the soul of honor, and NANCY (PRITCHARDJ DEWEY. 1656. Branch of Josiah. 497 a character so pure, that in all the transactions of a busy life it has never been tarnished with even a rumor of unfairness or reproach, he possessed the confidence of his fellow citizens fully and without reserve. " To his irreproachable character, to his acknowledged high abilities as a financier, so recognized throughout the country, much of the success of the Harrison National Bank can be attributed, as with Mr. Dewey at the head, our people felt as secure in their deposited earnings as if they were locked up in the Government treasury. " Of calm temperament, and temperate, regular habits, he lived a quiet life, invariably spending his evenings at home with his family at their pleas- ant family mansion in the northern suburbs of the town. Mr. Dewey was a man of large benevolence and gave to the needy without ostentation; with a warm heart, he was always ready to respond when appealed to in behalf of a worthy object." When he died in 1880, he had lived long beyond the three score and ten years allotted to mankind; he had made a name and reputation for himself that was to be envied, as a man of strong personality, of undoubted integrity, ability, conservative, conciliatory, with few superiors. So that, when he laid himself down to die, it was with undoubted faith that he had fought a good fight, had leaned entirely on Christ, and trusted to God for his salvation. His death threw a gloom over the whole community. Out of respect to his memory, all the business houses and public schools were closed during the funeral services, because his counsel had been invaluable, his presence a pleasure to his neighbors. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Dickson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Cadiz, assisted by his former pastor. Rev. M. W. Grimes, of Steubenville. All of his children were present, except his second son, Eliphalet, who arrived from Texas on the Tuesday following. The wedding of Chauncey Dewey to Miss NANCY PRITCHARD (see portrait) took place at 3 o'clock p. m., Feb. 11, 1823, in the brick house built by the bride's father in 1814, which stood where the Harrison National Bank now stands; the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Dr. John Rea. The attendants were, as bridesmaid, Rosalta Smith, niece of Peter Van Dolan (merchant), also niece of Walter Shotwell, Sr. ; the Rev. Donald Mcintosh was the groomsman. Among the friends and relatives attending the wedding were John and Sarah Pritchard, the bride's parents; Col. Benja- min Brownfield, the bride's uncle, from Uniontown, Pa. (where he died Oct. 8, 1892, ag. loi years); her sister Mary, and her husband, Hon. Daniel Kilgore; Marie, who married Wm. Lee; Eliza; who married Wm. Houston, of Wheeling, W.

Samuel Douglass; Clara, who married John Hull; Sarah Jane, who married George Anderson; her brothers Jesse and Benjamin Pritchard; Mr. and Mrs. John Olmstead, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Martin Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. John Angus McBean, Dr. 32 498 Dewey Genealogy.

The wedding journey consisted of a moonlight promenade by all present, led by the bride and groom, to their new home, a house situated on the lot just below the present drug store and office of Dr. John McBean. All present at that happy wedding party in 1823 are dead; the last to die was Mrs. Chauncey Dewey, the bride, on Sept. 6, 1897. EIGHTH GENERATION —Born at Cadiz, O. 3151. Eliphalet, b.

Aug. 26, 1886, ag. 80 years, at Quechee, Vt. ; was the oldest of five children, and when only sighreen years old, on the death of his father, he became charged with the support of his mother, brother, and three sisters. At this period of his life he had received no education, in a literary sense, and though he had not been subjected to the blighting influences of poverty that surround thousands in early life, yet he had been 5o8 Dewey Genealogy. the creature of circumstances which tended to hamper genius and keep in a latent state the higher faculties of bis heart and mind; left home to learn the carpenter's trade; served an apprenticeship of three years with Elihu Ransom, of Quechee village, in Hartford, Vt., during which time his sole compensation consisted of his board and clothing, but he worked nearly every day beyond the allotted hours to earn extra wages. His habits of industry and his exemplary conduct gained him several warm friends and sympathizers, who gave him credit for articles of subsistence, and loaned him money wherewith to accomplish his noble purpose. During his appren- ticeship in 1825, he and two or three other apprentices were taken by their employer to Boston to obtain more profitable employment than was to be obtained at home. The party set out to walk the entire distance, but after walking all day, all but young Dewey concluded to ride the remaining dis- tance. He, however, continued the journey on foot, until he reached Charlestown, Mass., from which place he secured a ride into Boston on a peddler's cart. This incident in his career fully illustrates the tenacity of purpose and indomitable will which contributed largely to his success in business life. The experience of these three years was of inestimable value to young Dewey. It taught him the value of self-reliance, of industrious habits, and especially of the value of a good moral character, all of which qualities he exemplified in his after life. At the termination of his appren- ticeship Mr. Dewey was discharged as a journeyman carpenter, receiving from Mr. Ransom the customary gift of a freedom suit of clothes. For several years thereafter he pursued his trade near home. In 1831, with a desire to change his vocation for one more compatible with his tastes, he sought and obtained employment in the machine shop of Daniels & Co., of Woodstock, Vt. Mr. Dewey had an instinct for handicraft, but he achieved his skill by accurate observation and reflection. He had the power of mechanical analysis which enabled him to master all the technicalities and principles of construction of machinery entirely new to him. In the short space of four months from the time he commenced work with Daniels & Co., he was sent out by them to set up their machinery in different places, which he did until 1836. In 1835, in company with others, he commenced the erection of what is now known as the A. G. Dewey Co's. factory, on the Ottaquechee river, below Quechee village. Here he comraenced the manufacture of woolen fabrics, but the venture proved unsuccessful, and at the end of two years he found himself involved almost hopelessly in debt, lacking $15,000 to liqui- date his obligations. But he continued to run the mill with a force of from thirty to sixty operatives, though there was not a day between 1838 and 1850 in which he could have met the claims of his creditors at a sacrifice of all of his possessions. Nevertheless, he kept his creditors fylly informed of his affairs, promptly met his paper at maturity, and paid his employees in full Branch of Josiah. 509 every pay-day. Furthermore, he spared no pains to improve the quality of his manufactures. This proved a first-rate investment for securing to himself the enviable reputation and large fortune resulting therefrom. Prior to 1841 he used fine new wool in the goods made by him. In that year he commenced using what was then known as rag-wool, and the cloth made was called rag-cloth. In 1846 he came into possession of all the machinery then in use by other parties in Quechee. From then until 1848, when the Rays, of Franklin, Mass., started in the business, he was the only manufacturer making or using shoddy yarn and weaving it into cloth in this country. Consequently, he made this kind of cloth a longer time than any other manufacture in the United States. The firm of A. G. Dewey & Co. was formed April i, 1858, by the associa- tion of Mr. Dewey with his brother-in-law, Justin T. McKenzie, and his wife's nephew, William G. Carter. In 1858 the mill of this firm contained omy two sets of machinery, capable of producing about 450 yards of textile fabric daily. In 1873 they had a capacity of 1,300 yards, which is now their output. Mr. Dewey was always interested in everything promotive of the growth and prosperity of his section, and favoring internal improvements, he was an active promoter and one of the original incorporators of the railroad from White River Junction to Woodstock, Vt. , Being a large stockholder, he was elected a member of the board of directors on the organization of the com- pany, and on the death of Gov. P. T. Washburn, in February, 1870, he was chosen to the office of president, and retained the office until January, 1883, when he declined further re-election. In political life Mr. Dewey acceptably filled all offices of trust to which he was called. He won the hearts of the people by making them feel that it was his pleasure to serve them. He represented the town of Hartford in the General Assembly in 1850, '51, '63, and '64; was a selectman from 1858 to 1866. In 1869 he was elected to the State Senate from Windsor county, and again in 1870. Though ever ready to act the part of a good citizen, and participate in a proper manner in public affairs, he refrained from soliciting public office, believing that it is men who wait to be selected, and not those who seek, from whom we may always expect the most efificient service.

The following year he returned to his native town, having contracted fever and ague in Michigan. In 1836 he was employed by Jasper Strong, at Quechee, in erecting a woolen mill at that point, and with A. G. Dewey made all the leather belts by hand used in the mills. Mr. Mackenzie continued to be employed at these mills till the spring of 1838, when, owing to financial difficulties, they were shut down. From this time till the fall of 1839 he had charge of the dye house of Mallory & Co., at Quechee, and from the latter date till 1842 he was employed by Francis Kidder & Co., of Bristol, N. H., as head dyer. On account of the failure of Messrs. Kidder & Co., Mr. Mackenzie returned to Quechee, and for a short time was employed in the mills there; but in the latter part of 1842 he pur- chased a farm in the northwestern part of Woodstock. From this time till Branch of Josiah. 511 1858 he was engaged in farming, though at different intervals he was employed in woolen mills; from 1854 to 1858 he had charge of the dyeing at the Woodv/ard mills. In the winter of 1858 Mr. Mackenzie formed a part- nership with A. G. Dewey and William S. Carter, under the firm name of A. G. Dewey & Co., and manufactured woolens at the lower mill at Quechee. He retained this interest till his death. He removed from his farm to Quechee, where he continued-to reside till the winter of 1869, when he came to Woodstock village, purchasing the property situated at the head of the park, the house having been built by the late Dr. John D. Powers. Mr. Mackenzie was largely interested in the building of the Woodstock railroad, and was at the time of his death its vice-president. He represented Woodstock in the Vermont Legislature in 1884. In 1885 he superintended the building of the Norman Williams Public Library. EIGHTH GENERATION — Born at Woodstock 1. Franklin Simmons, b.

He was a Methodist preacher, " born of strictly religious parents of the New England stamp, and with grandparents, on both sides, strictly temperate and moral." He wrote an autobiography in which he says there were thirty-six ministers among the Dewey family; as follows: " I was born in Dancet Hollow, Bennington Co., Vt., A. D. 1791. My parents were of New England stock on both sides, strictly temperate and moral; when I was six years old my father sold his farm and moved to Plattsburgh, N. Y., where my mother had a long, expensive sickness and died when I was 8 years old. My father went into partnership and lost all his property. I was his oldest son, and there were five small children. In two years he married a high-spirited young gentry woman. They had a large family which I felt it a heavy burden to help support. My father, when I was about 14, got in with another dishonest partner and again lost all he had. When I was about 17, he moved to Steuben Co. (Cohocton), N. Y., but got no land till myself and brother Timothy, younger than I, were able to help him buy a farm at Cohocton, after which he lived well and died in his 89th year;" m.

May i, 1880, ag. 77, at Aurora, 111., of malarial fever; when he was a boy his father emigrated to Cohocton, Steu- ben county, N. Y. ; was a farmer; when he reached manhood, left the farm and sought employment on the Erie canal; soon became owner of a line of packet boats, and for seventeen years was a noted captain on the Erie canal before the days of railroads, and accumulated what was considered a fortune in those days. In 1840 he went west, having sold his interest in the canal boat line ; purchased land where the four counties of Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and Will corner in Illinois, so that these four counties cornered in his farm. Aurora was the post-office; lived there until 1858, when he sold his farm and removed to Aurora. Leaving his family there, he went to Bement, in Piatt county, and built a grain warehouse and went into wheat buying business. Also built another at Valparaiso, Ind. The panic of 1859 came on and he lost the fortune that he had spent a lifetime in accumulating. He then went west to the gold regions of Pike's Peak, Col., in the hope of being able to retrieve his fortune. Remained there until about 1870, when he returned to Aurora poor in pocket and broken in health, and soon after died. His personal characteristics were great physical strength 514 Dewey Genealogy. and agility. Like Pepin the Short, son of Charlemagne, he was of low stature, 5 ft 7 1-2 inches, but it was said no man that ever passed over the Erie canal was able to "handle " him in any physical encounter and that every one who had any ambition that way tried it but once. His weight was about 180 pounds. " Just for fun " he would stand beside an ordinary span of horses and jump over them and back again, laying only a hand on their manes, and his feats of strength were as wonderful then, nearly, as Sandow's are now, although he was wholly untrained for them; had black hair, gray eyes, fair complexion; m.

Nov. 25, 1874, ag. 86, at Salt Lake fcity; a carpenter and joiner; left his parents in Hopkinton, Middlesex county, in 181 1, for Berkshire county, where, in 1813, he enlisted in the Massachusetts militia, marched to Boston, and was soon promoted to the colonel's staff, with the rank of sergeant-major; in 1813, on receiving his discharge, he returned with his father and family to Berkshire, where, in 1825, he was appointed coroner for the county, and held the office until 1843, when he removed to Nauvoo, 111., having previously embraced the peculiar faith of the Latter-day Saints, commonly called Mormons, and this while his children were in their most susceptible years. Subsequent events will account for the tenacity and zeal with which he and his connections have adhered to the new faith. On settling at Nauvoo, Mr. Richards was elected a member of the city council, one of the regents of the university and one of the bodyguard of the lieut. -general of the Nauvoo Legion. After the exile of th^ community and the institution of the provisional government of Deseret, he was chosen a senator, and when the territory of Utah was organized, he was elected a representative for three years, and, on the fourth year, chaplain of the house. During his stay in the East he preached the new faith and baptized quite a number in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, including his own family and many relatives. His wife was a devoutly pious woman, and she taught her children the way of the Lord to the best of her knowledge and belief, insomuch that His fear has never for- saken them, and the greatest pleasure has been to know that they have His help and approbation in all the work of their lives; her mortal life occurred during a period of hardships; moving from Richmond, Mass., to Nauvoo, 111., thence to Winter Quarters and to Utah, each requiring unusual fortitude, patience and holy zeal, to endure with the indomitable courage necessary to overcome and which she ever exhibited till the setting in of disease, which ended her days in 1853.

April 2, 1821, at Richmond, Mass.; the fourth born and the oldest living of nine children; at ten years of age left home to make his own way in the world, walking ten miles to Pittsfield, where he worked for three years at hard labor; was an unusually bright scholar in Sunday School, and was tendered, but declined, a scholarship in one of New England's leading theological seminaries; in 1836 Joseph and Brigham Young held a series of meetings in Richmond, and left behind them, with the Richards family, a copy of the Book of Mormon, which Franklin studied with all the ardor of an enthusiast, reading and pondering over it by night and day; in the autumn of the same year two members of the Richards household went to Ohio as delegates of the family, and the following spring the young man's father also journeyed thither and embraced the Mormon faith, returning to Richmond in the fall of 1838, where he baptized the subject of this sketch in the waters of Mill Creek in his native town. Young Franklin at once abandoned his employment and started for Far West, Mo., and for a time found employment along the Missouri river. In May, 1839, he was ordained to the calling of a Seventy, and was appointed to a mission in northern Indiana; before he was twenty years of age he delivered, at Plymouth, Ind., a series of lectures which attracted much attention; was present at the laying of the corner-stone of the Mormon Temple, at Nauvoo, in April, 1841 ; was sick nigh unto death that summer at Laporte, Ind., and was nursed back to health and strength by the family of Isaac Snyder, whose daughter Jane the future apostle married a year later; dwelt with the Mormons at Nauvoo till 1844, in the meantime being ordained a High Priest, and then started with Brigham Young and others on a mission to England, but did not leave this country, and returned to Nauvoo and was appointed a scribe in the office of the Church Historian in 1845. He worked as a carpenter and joiner on the Temple until the structure 542 Dewey Genealogy. was completed and dedicated. With the exodus of his chosen church from Nauvoo he sent his wife and child to the Western Wilderness, and with his brother Samuel and several others set sail from New York for Liverpool on the 22d of September, 1846. Was soon after appointed to preside over the Church in Scotland. Though but twenty-five years old, young Richards was next appointed to succeed Apostle Hyde as president of the Mormon Church in the British Isles and editor of their official organ, the Millennial Star. He labored there till February, 1848, when he was appointed to conduct a party of converts to the United States. During these years of absence his fair little daughter had died, and when he returned in May, 1848, he found his faithful wife heartbroken, childless and alone. In July of that year the young elder headed a caravan of fifty wagons across the plains for Salt Lake Basin, and, after more than three months of privation, want and danger, entered the valley through Emigration Canyon. Selling his clothes to bUy building material, the young mechanic and exhorter built for himseK and tamily a rude hut, without roof or floor, and from this place two months later he was called to receive ordination to the holy apostleship. In October, 1849, he once more started for England, and again became head of the Church there and editor of the official organ at Liverpool. Here he soon organized and developed a large number of publications connected with his religious work, while the regular labors of proselyting under his supervision brought man)' thousands of converts to his standard, and he sent three ship- loads of immigrants to Salt Lake City, via New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. He returned to America in 1852, and in December of that year entered the Territorial Legislative Assembly as a member; journeyed once more to England in 1854, this time his authority being extended " over all the British Isles and adjacent countries." When, two years later, he again returned to America, the occasion was considered one of unusual importance to all members of the Mormon Church in foreign lands. Was elected a member of the Utah Legislature and a Regent of the University of Deseret immediately on his arrival home in 1857, and was commissioned a brigadier- general of the Nauvoo Legion. From 1859 to 1866 the life of Franklin Dewey Richards was an active one, covering the entire fiejd of ecclesiastical, political, legislative, military and educational work, besides directing large interests in agriculture and manu- facturing. Again, in 1866, Richards was sent abroad as head of the Mormon Church in foreign lands, remaining there till the fall of 1868. Was elected probate judge of Weber county, Utah, in 1869, and removed his residence to Ogden, where he established the Ogden Function, the first newspaper in that city; had much. to do with building up schools and social improvement societies among the people. He was county judge for more than fourteen years, and it is said of him that in no instance have his decisions ever been reversed by a higher court. He continued a member of the Territorial Branch of Josiah. 543 Legislature and Constitutional Convention, serving in all these positions without compensation. When the Edmunds law against polygamy went into effect Judge Richards became defendant in a suit in quo warranto, in which it was sought to remove him from office as county judge. The legal battle was a very sharp one, but Judge Richards held his office till the expiration of the term for which he had been elected by the people. In this contest the Judge had as counsel his two sons, Franklin L. and Charles C. Richards. To epitomize: Franklin Dewey Richards, as a boy and youth, was studi- ous, thoughtful and earnest; as a man, brave, self-reliant and faithful to his every obligation; as a judge, firm but merciful; as an apostle in the Church of Latter-day Saints, an enthusiastic and devoted follower of the doctrines he embraced in his young manhood; as a lawmaker, discriminating and sagacious, drawing from a well of thought and knowledge, wisdom and sagacity.

In 1872 she was appointed president of a relief society, which has. extended its branches into twenty-four towns and villages in Weber county, numbering now 1053 members. Besides faithfully performing their legiti- mate duties, by relieving the suffering of the indigent, the sick, the unfortu- nate, the dying, and preparations of the dead, these societies have made munificent donations to erect houses of public worship and literary institu- tions in the State. In October, 1888, she was chosen vice-president of the National Relief Society, which includes all the societies of Utah and sur- rounding States and Territories. In February, 1891, she was admitted a member of the National Council of Women, at Washington, D. C, and on the 2Sth of that month represented her society in the National Council, as having a membership of 25,000 persons (see pages 258-9-60, National Council of Women, published in 1891). She was appointed one of the Lady Mana- gers for Utah, at the World's Exposition in 1893, at Chicago, and has been elected delegate to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha in 1898.

In youth he had the advantages of a common school educa- tion, laboring summers upon the farm, and sometimes traveling as a trader in several New England States. la 1843 he removed to Nauvoo, 111., and in 1846 visited the British Islands as an elder of the Mormon Church, where his labors were attended with great success, especially in Scotland. In 1848 he returned to Missouri and in 1849 removed with his family to Utah. At the organization of the government of Great Salt Lake City he was elected one of the council, and took an active part in framing the ordinances of the city. In 185 1 he resumed his ministerial labors in England, and the year following became general shipping agent for the Latter-day Saints, many thousands of whom he forwarded to this country, having acquired the repu- tation of conducting the best shipping agency in the kingdom. In 1854 he was summoned under the Queen's seal to appear before the Committee of the House of Commons, on Emigrant Ships, consisting of fifteen members, John O'Connell, Esq., chairman, to give information, and offer suggestions for the improvement of the emigration laws of Great Britain; and his recommendations on several points were adopted and embodied in a new passenger act, passed about the same time with one of like character by the United States. At this time he edited and published a weekly periodical which had a vast circulation, and also two semi-monthly journals. France, Switzerland, and the British Isles constituted the field of his personal labors. In 1854 he returned to Salt Lake City, and was chosen Representative to the Territorial Legislature, and served three years. In 1856 he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, and was elected a member of the convention for framing a constitution for a State govern- ment, to accompany petitions to Congress for admission into the Union. He has for several years been a member of the Board of Regents of the Deseret University, and given considerable attention to the encouragement of education among the people. In 1857 he was commissioned by the Governor of the Territory brigade quartermaster and commissary, with the rank of lieut. -colonel of infantry. He served as City Councilor 1854-60, as Alderman 1860-1, when he was chosen by the Legislative Assembly, Judge of Probate for Davis county, and soon after appointed by the Supreme Court, United States Commissioner. In 1857 he visited Great Britain, for the third time, as special agent to transact business growing out of the movements and designs of the general government, and returned in the spring of 1858. In May, 1864, he was commissioned colonel of Utah militia, and in February, 1866, was re-elected Alderman of the Second Municipal Ward of Salt Lake City. In 1871-2 he filled a mission to his native State and other New Eng- land States; and in 1895-6-7 had charge of the Eastern States Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which included the New ELDER SAMUEL \V, RICHARDS.

June 20, 1849, at Salt Lake City, Utah; spent his boyhood in such schools as were afforded in Salt Lake City at that period; when his father was sent abroad in 1866 the young Franklin at once stepped from the place of a student into that of head of his father's household, and, although but seventeen years of age, began work as a teacher in a large school in his native city, and for three years followed that calling successfully, not neglecting, however, to pursue his own studies at night and in his leisure hours; in those days his attention seemed most attracted by anatomy, physiology, and kindred subjects, but he finally selected the law as his life's profession; removed to Ogden in 1869, and was soon after appointed clerk of the Probate Court and elected county recorder; these offices he filled creditably for nine and eight years, respec- tively, and declined further election. Without ever having attended a law lecture, or having read law a single day in any office other than his own, on June 16, 1874, young Richards was, on the same afternoon, admitted to practice in both the District and Supreme Courts of Utah, and was for several years attorney for Weber county and the city of Ogden. In 1877 he was sent as a Mormon missionary to Europe, and traveled extensively over all the continental countries; returned to America the same year, and during the succeeding five years was active in the practice of his profession, being known favorably as attorney or counselor in many famous lawsuits; during this time he was sent to Washington as delegate to present and urge the claims of Utah to statehood, having been a conspicuous member of the Constitutional Convention; was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of California in 1881, and two years later before'the Supreme Court of the United States; was elected to the Utah Legislature in 1884, and was in the same year chosen city attorney for Salt Lake City; was president of the upper house of the Legislature in 1890; was a member of the Constitu- tional Convention in 1895, and played an important part in framing the Con- stitution of the State of Utah. During his years of practice before the United States Supreme Court he has forcibly presented to that august body many cases growing out of alleged violations of the Edmunds law, and has made many warm friends among the lawyers and statesmen he has met at Washington and elsewhere, the late Jere S. Black, of Pennsylvania, having been one of his most cordial admirers and associates. Mr. Richards is still the leading counsel for the Mormon Church, and is in active practice in all the State and Federal courts; m.

State militia " He was a man of decided convictions which he never hesitated to avo^ and defend; courageous and aggressive in everything he undertook, h( wrested from those who differed from him a respect for his fearlessness and his uniform success won a high regard for his sagacity. In his religious views he was a strong Episcopalian. His family relations were exceptionally pleasant and he was never happier than when surrounded by his household he was one of the most public spirited of our citizens and his contribution; towards railroads, churches, schools, and hotels were frequent and heavy, and his influence was always exerted towards building up Montpelier, a towr which he loved.

SAMUEL W. DEWEY (Captain), son of Samuel M. (see portrait), b. Feb. 4, 1807, at Falmouth, Mass.; living unm. at Philadelphia, Pa., in November, 1898; had his picture taken for the first time in October, 1898, for insertion in this History of the Dewey Family. The following sketch of his life is from an interview with himself by Edwin J. Dewey (No. 6143), of Philadelphia, Nov. 5, 1898: " Capt. Dewey was born in Falmouth, Mass., in 1807, and removed to Boston with his parents three years later; attended public schools till thirteen years of age; then went to sea as a ' boy,' his first voyage being with Capt. Ashman to the East Indies; was subsequently first mate of the ship ' Topaz,' and commanded the ships ' Thompson,' ' Messenger,' and ' Israel,' making voyages to England, the Mediterranean, France, South America, and the East Indies; followed the sea till twenty- seven years of age. Just after his last voyage the notable incident occurred which made him famous as a cool-headed and determined character, viz., the decapitation by him of the figurehead of Jackson which had been afiixed to the prow of the warship ' Constitution.' In 1836 he engaged in the Southern shipping trade as a ship broker at 77 South street, afterward at 109 Front street. New York, chartering ships to carry cargoes to and from St. Thomas, Cuba and New Orleans. While in business at 77 South street he took offense at an article published in the New York Herald by James Gordon Bennett, the elder, whom he soundly thrashed in Beekman street for the offense. The article was explained, and they became fast friends, which lasted until Bennett's death. In 1845, having amassed considerable wealth, he abandoned the brokerage business, and turned his attention to mineralogy, and inci- dentally, to political matters. He became a power v/ith the administrations of Presidents Polk and Taylor. In the meantime, having invested in a large tract of mineral lands in North Carolina and Virginia, he devoted much time to a classification of the minerals of that district. He accidentally dis- covered (in Virginia) the largest American diamond ever found, and which, after being broken in cutting, was worn .by his steadfast friend, Bennett. John Morrissey, afterward in Congress from New York, also came into possession of a portion of the stone. During a tramping visit to New Jersey, Mr. Dewey picked up the largest and finest American ruby yet discovered, which is now in possession of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Phila- delphia. He has always been an active advocate of measures tending to improve the interests of American ship owners and sailors. In politics an ardent Whig, until the administration of Polk, when he became a Democrat, 6oo Dewey Genealogy. being influenced by that party's advocacy of the annexation oi Texas. Since the Mexican War he has taken very little interest in politics, but his sympa- thies have been with the Republican party of Lincoln. He is now in the 92d year of his age, but appears much younger." The following, from the Philadelphia Times, is the figurehead story referred to in the foregoing biography: Living in Philadelphia to-day is the man who in the year 1834 set the United States in a flame by a deed which, while it throws a curious and inter- esting side light upon the history of the times, has never appeared in full in print before. The man is Captain Samuel W. Dewey, his age is ninety-two, and the deed which made him famous in the days of Jackson's administration was the sawing off of the head of the wooden effigy of Jackson, placed as a figurehead on the famous old ship Constitution. It was a deed which, on one hand, set the Whigs wild with delight, and made the Federalists, who just at that time were beginning to call them- selves by the new, and popular title of Jefferson Democrats — afterward shortened to Democrat simply — ■ equally wild with anger. Nothing at the time threw a better light on the popularity of Jackson, and for this reason the affair, not known to this generation, and a matter of history even to the generation before, has, outside of its being the story of a difficult and dangerous matter well done by a brave man, a peculiar interest. To understand the story completely, it is necessary to go back at least to the. year 1830. Then a report appeared in " The Boston Advertiser " that the naval authorities had decided to destroy the Constitution, together with a number of other old ships of the War of 1812. Their planks had become rotten, and the ships were dangerous to their crews. Little did the naval authorities, however, appreciate the sentimental glamour which hung around the Constitution, and when, two days after the announcement, Oliver Wendell Holmes, then twenty-one years old, flung the poem of " Old Ironsides " to the world, and with the stirring lines beginning, " Aye, tear her tattered ensign down," struck the popular chord full and strong, the ship, as it after- ward appeared, was saved. No one could help thrilling with indignation at those lines: The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea! and the Navy Department acquiesced to the popular demand. It was some time after this that it was found that, in order to keep afloat the Constitution at all, the ship would have to be rebuilt. Accordingly, she was docked at Charlestown, in the first drydock erected in the country, and rebuilt on her own lines. Only the keel and keelson of the old ship remained. The commandant of the navy yard was then Commodore Elliott, an ardent Federalist and a great admirer of Jackson. In the rebuilding, therefore, the former figurehead of the Constitution, one of an allegorical character, was replaced by one modeled in likeness to President Jackson. This was done in spite of a vehement protest by Commodore Hull, who had charge of the undocking, but who was powerless before the approval of the change by Mahlon Dickinson, then Secretary of the Navy, and as good, if not better. Federalist as Elliott. CAPT. SAMUEL W. DEWEY, 2O54. Branch of Josiah. 6oi As soon, however, as the public knew of the change, which was as soon as the new Constitution was launched, in 1834, there was almost as loud a protest as that in 1830 upon the report of the intended destruction of the old ship. Feeling ran especially high in New England, and was increased in force by the contemptuous action of Commodore Elliot in anchoring the Constitution in Charlestown harbor, with the nose of the ship facing west and not twenty-five feet from the Charlestown bridge. However gallant and brave an officer Elliot was — and his gallantry and bravery have n^ver been successfully questioned — he was no diplomat. Every oae in Boston knew that the universal position of anchored ships in Charlestown Harbor yvas pointing northeast, on account of the northeast winds. The Columbus and the Independence, two other warships, anchored in the harbor in the custom- ary way, bore mute testimony to this well-known fact, and higher and higher ran the feelings of the Middlesex county men against the daily insult to their political faith. It was, too, a dangerous time to trifle with men's beliefs, for the romantic revival was still at high tide, and ideals were the mainspring of action. It was under these circumstances that Captain Dewey, then a hardy young sailor of twenty-eight years, determined to avenge the fancied insult. Con- sulting but one other, who took no part in the deed itself. Captain Dewey chose one stormy night, when the rain beat in torrents, and the lightning and thunder were continuous, to steal out with a small saw in one of the boats belonging to " Billy " White, who then kept a number of skiffs and sail-boats near the Charlestown bridge. Muffling his oars with pieces of old shirts, he rowed quietly out into the shadow thrown by the black hull of the Constitution. Gliding up to the side of the vessel, he stopped near the war ropes amid- ships, and, securing his boat, nimbly climbed up on the ship's deck. There was no sentinel outside, the rain having driven him to shelter, and Captain Dewey safely reached the " shelter boards," which had been placed under the sprit the day before. There was still danger in the execution of the plan, for the Columbus's ship's light and that on the Independence were thrown on the figurehead as a precaution against any such attempt. Lying down, however, on his back, hidden by the shelter boards, Captain Dewey could still, by reaching out and up with one hand, reach the neck of the figure with his saw. In this cramped position he worked three hours on the sticky southern pine, and finally got the head off, not the entire head, for a huge collar of the old fashion reached well up on the back of the Jackson head, and the portion sawed off was on a plane with the mouth and ears. This was, however, enough for the intended purpose. Then, after surmounting the difficulties of the return, such as -finding his boat nearly full of water and the tide so low that he had to wade quite a way through mud to the shore, the adventurous sailor reached land in safety. One can now but faintly imagine the tremendous cry which went up on the discovery of the disfigurement. Whigs howled with delight, Middlesex was wild with joy, but from the Navy Department in Washington came a storm of vindictive protest. Try as the authorities could, however, no trace was found of the man who did the deed. Excitement had not yet subsided when Captain Dewey decided for some reason that it would be a good thing to present the head to Jackson himself, and, accordingly, he set off for Wash- ington with it. In Philadelphia he met Wiley P. Magnum and John Tyler, 6o2 Dewey Genealogy. who had been appointed by the President to investigate the affairs of the United States Bank. He knew them both, and the story was too good to keep, so he told them. Continuing then to Washington, he arrived there in February, and for two months tried to see the President. Jackson was at that time seriously ill with a hemorrhage of the lungs, afterward cured by application of leeches, aad could not see him. After waiting until April i, Dewey went to Vice-President Van Buren, and, after waiting aome three hours, on account of the hordes of office-seekers who, Jackson's illness, flocked to Van Buren, was given an audience. Van Buren, it appeared, had known Captain Dewey's father, a Captain Samuel Madan Dewey, of the United States 3d Artillery Regiment, and received him most cordially. After some talk about Dewey's father, the Captain told Van Buren the reasons for his visit. The joke of it all struck Van Buren forcibly, and after a startled excla- mation he joined with Captain Dewey in a tremendous burst of laughter. He did not take the head, however, but advised its return to Secretary Mahlon Dickinson. To Dickinson Captain Dewey accordingly went, and on being admitted to the Secretary's presence briefly told him that he had come to return the stolen head. The astonished and angry Dickinson did not, as Van Buren, see the joke, and was about to ring a bell, exclaiming at the same time that he would have Dewey arrested, when he was stopped by the latter. " Sir," ^aid Captain Dewey, " there is no charge on which you can hold me except that of trespass. In this I would have to be tried in Middlesex county, where the trespass occurred. And, sir, if I am. tried there, and a Middlesex jury does not give damages to me and not to you, my name's not Dewey." Dickinson knew how high the feeling had run in Boston, and this knowl- edge cooled his anger. The head was accepted, but was never put on the boat again, and became the property of the Dickinson family. It now belongs to a woman in Brooklyn. 3063. WILLIAM JAMES SMITH DEWEY, son of John, b.

He entered Harvard College, but in his sophomore year joined an astronomical expedition to South America, and was gone eighteen months. Returning he taught three years and then went west, in 1852. There he followed teaching, was successful and popular, and was made assistant superintendent of public instruction in Berrien county, Mich. But the news- paper business attracted him; he purchased the " Niles (Mich.) Courier; " after publishing it nine years changed to the " Hastings Banner." In 1881 became editor of the '' Owosso Times," retiring in 1890 on account of poor health. On all these he proved himself an able and versatile writer; was a man of convictions, a born politician in the best sense of the much abused word; was, withal, a good speaker, and in demand upon the stump; stumped many States, east and west, in many campaigns; was specially lucid, thorough and candid in his treatment of the tariff question, being a strong protectionist; was elected a State senator by the Republicans of his district in 1873-4; was also a prominent advocate of the temperance cause, ready with tongue and pen in this and every good work; was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and held, in 1888-9, the important post of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of Michigan ; in Odd Fellowship, the prominent part in which circumstances and the esteem of brothers led him, he became an enthusiast and an authority. At the time of his death he was editor of the "Odd Fellow," published at Owosso. It is a singular fact that Mr. Dewey died on the 40th anniversary of his marriage, which, up to within a few days, he had been arranging to celebrate. He retained his mental faculties to almost the last, though full of pain the last two weeks. His death was due to the wearing out of an exceptionally strong and commanding physique; m.

DANIEL ARNOLD DEWEY, son of John, b. May 27, 1821, at Sher- burne, N. Y. ; his family removed to Columbus, Pa., 1824, where his father became one of the founders of that town, when Daniel was but three years old, in the vicinity of which place the first twenty years of his life were spent, in school in winter, in summer helping his father to make a farm in the then virgin forest of northwestern Pennsylvania; before he was out of his teens he became a teacher in the common schools, later a professor of penmanship, traveling through Canada and many of the States in the prose- cution of his profession, thus gaining experience and mental discipline, admirably fitting him for the business career of after life. Returning to his old home in 1846, he married Miss M. L. Barnes, and embarked with his brother Richard in mercantile and lumber business; by dint of industry and perseverance the firm soon became one of the leading institutions of the kind in their region; later connecting with their business the production and handling of petroleum immediately upon its development in 1861; prosperity marked his career until the panic of 1873, when his business collapsed with the general crash; after this, absence of employment; with his characteristic energy he was prompted to associate himself with the fraternal order styled the Mutual Protective Association; a year's experience in this work fur- nished the stepping stone to an improved system, a cooperative beneficial order, christened the Equitable Aid Union of America, of which he was the author and one of the founders in 1879, in which work he continued for many years; recently having retired from active life, he is now, in 1898, amusing himself with his apiary; m.

July 22, 1889, ag. 75, at Cassville, Wis. ; a lawyer and capitalist. The following is taken from the autobiography pre- pared by Nelson Dewey just prior to his death, and found by Herman Grim, the executor named in his will, among the governor's papers: I was born in Lebanon, State of Connecticut, December 19, 1813. When about six months old my father and mother moved from there to Coopers- to'vn, Otsego county. New York. When I was four and one-half years old my father took me back to Lebanon, Conn., and I lived with my grand- parents in that place until I was nearly eight years old. In the meantime, my parents left Cooperstown and settled in the village of Louisville, in the town of Butternut (now Morris) in Otsego county. In 1821 I was brought home to my parents in Louisville until I left for Wisconsin in 1836. Outside of a common school education, I was educated at Hamilton Academy, a non-sectarian school at Hamilton, Madison county, New York. I attended that school, commencing in the spring of 1830 and continuing until the close of the school year 1832. Among my class and schoolmates at that school were William Pitt Lynde, late of Milwaukee; Prof. John W. Sterling, of the State University; and Harlow S. Orton, now one of the Jus- tices of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. After completing my education at the above school (which has long since been abandoned as an academy), I taught school one year in Butternut, now Morris, and read law more or less with my father, whose profession was law, and with James W. Davis and Nicholas Hansen, lawyers of Louisville. This Hansen was a native of Albany, N. Y., I think. He had three sisters married to three prominent families in Butternut, being with one or two other fami- lies the aristocratic families of a certain part of that town. Hansen some- time during the 20's lived in central Illinois, and took an active part in politics with William S. Hamilton. At the time there was an effort to establish slavery in that State. He was elected to the Legislatureof Illinois, but his seat was contested by one John Strong, and Hansen lost his seat. Afterwards he returned to New York and settled in Louisville. In the fall of 1835 L went to read law in Cooperstown, in the office of Samuel S. Bowen. This Bowen was elected to congress in Otsego county in 1840, as a Democrat. He supported Tyler's administration in 1841, 1842 and 1843. In 1843 he was appointed by Tyler register ot the land office at Branch of Josiah. 629 Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and qualified as such. He not liking the situation, very soon resigned, and returned to New York. On the i2th of May, 1836, I left reading law with Bowen in Cooperstown, and ray home in Louisville, and started for Cassvile, Wis. That place was then in Michigan, the territory of Wisconsin not being organized until July 4th, 1836. I traveled by stage to Buffalo, on the steamer Michigan to Detroit, and by stage to Schoolcraft or Round Prairie, in Michigan. There I stopped with Simon I. Daniels three weeks or more, under whose advice and protegeship I came to Wisconsin. Thence I went in a lumber wagon to the mouth of St. Joseph river, thence by a sail vessel to Chicago, and thence by stage to Galena, arriving there on the 19th day of June, 1836. From there I went to Dubuque by steamer, and thence on horseback with Joseph Hogue to the mouth of Panther's creek, now Buena Vista, and thence on foot around the foot of the bluff to the mouth of Turkey river and across the Mississippi to Cassville. We were ferried across the Mississippi river in a flat-boat by William Walker, who ran the ferry, and stopped at the hotel then kept by Capt. Jas. B. Estes and Robert R. Read. The night before we reached Cassville we camped out in the woods and rain, having missed the Indian trail which was the road from Dubuque to Turkey river. I filled the position of clerk and bookkeeper for Daniels, Dennison & Co., the proprietors of Cassville, in 1836 and 1837, till the close of the spring of that year. They built in 1836 the two houses in which G. Prior and Dr. F. M. Cronin now live, and laid in 1836 the foundation walls of what is now the " Dennison House." Ciovis A. LaGrave and his brother Charles L. LaGrave built in 1836 the present frame building adjoining Geiger's brick store, and one Charles Bensill in 1836 built the now old building on the alley in block 11. G. M. Price in 1836 built the building now owned by Holloway Stephens on lot 11, block 3. It was originally built on lot 10, in block 11, and Ezra and John Gleason kept store in it in 1837 and 1838. John F. Gleason died in Prairie du Chien. Ezra lived in Madison and Mineral Point, and was living in Chicago when I last heard of him. Charles L. LaGrave is now living in Minneapolis, and Ciovis A. LaGrave resides in California. Simon I. Daniels, whose wife was a sister of the LaGraves, died March 11, 1837, at the house of Moses Hicklin, who lived at the head of Blake's Prairie in a log house. Mrs. Hicklin is yet living. In the spring of 1837 I ceased to work for Daniels, Dennison & Co., and Grant county being organized March 4, 1837, an election was held for county officers, at which I was elected the first register of deeds of Grant county. Cassville was the temporary county seat. In June, 1837, the first district court was held by Judge Charles Dunn in the building now owned by Hollo- way Stephens, and wherein he now lives. It then stood on the corner of lot 10, block II. In the summer and fall of 1837, the county authorities built the first brick court house in Lancaster, the permanent county seat of the county having been located there. In tlie fall of 1837 the county authorities ordered the county offices to be removed from Cassville to Lancaster. In October, 1837, the first district court was held in Lancaster. The court- house not being finished, the court was held in a one-story frame building owned by George H. Cox and Patten McMillen, built where C. H. Baxter's store now stands. In the summer of 1837 I was appointed a justice of the peace of Grant county by Gov. Henry Dodge. In November, 1837, I moved the office of register of deeds and myself from Cassville to Lancaster, and lived there until the spring of 1855, when I moved back to Cassville. 630 Dewey Genealogy. Then follows a somewhat lengthy account of a local murder and the sub- sequent trial and release of the murderers, after which he continues: In 1838 I was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the Territorial Legislative Assembly, that first met at Madison in November, 1838. In 1840 I was elected speaker of the House. In 1840 I was re-elected to the House for two years. In 1842 I was elected to the Legislative Council for four years, and was president of the Council one session. I was clerk of the Board of County Supervisors one or two years in the 40's, and also district attorney one year, or a part of a year, in the 40's. In 1845 Henry L. Massey, James E. Freeman (the latter now living in California), and myself, were appointed commissioners to survey, lay out into lots, settle pre-emption claims to lots, and sell the section No. 34, town 3, range 3 west, now Potosi, which section was granted by Congress to the territory to aid in digging a canal from the Mississippi river to Grant river slough, opposite or near the mouth of Snake Hollow, now LaFayette, which duty we performed. James F. Chapman, under the authority of the Legisla- ture, expended the money in partially digging the canal. In 1848 myself, Clovis A. LaGrave and a gentleman whose name I do not recollect, were appointed commissioners to survey into lots and settle claims of pre-emptors for lo^s of 200 acres of land comprising the present village of Beetown, which was granted by congress as a town site. We per- formed that duty. In early May, 1848, I was elected as a Democrat the first Governor of the State of Wisconsin, under the present constitution, and qualified June 5, 1848, at Madison. In 1849 I was re-elected, and served as the first governor during the years, 1849, 1850 and 1851. In 1853 I was elected State Senator from Grant county by three majority over Orsamus Cole, the Whig candi- date, and now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. While living in Lancaster I was the director of the school board of that district and built the first school-house in that village. I was o'ne year the chair- man of the Town Board of Supervisors, and was also the same year chairman of the County Board of Supervisors. In the sping of 1855 I moved back to Cassville, lived there three years, and then, in 1858, moved to Platteville, and lived there five years. While living in Platteville I was director of the school board of the north district several years, and while such director the brick school- house was built. I was also president of the village board of trustees three years, during which time the calaboose was built, and saloons were ordered closed at ten of the clock p. m. and to be kept closed on Sunday, which is the law there now; and hogs were stopped from running at large. In the '50's and '6o's I was several years a member of the Board of Regents of the State University. I was a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the Democratic ticket with Henry L. Palmer as the candidate for Governor; but we were badly beaten by Gov. Lewis, the Republican candidate. This was, I think, in 1863. In the spring of 1863 I moved back to Cassville and have lived in Cassville since that time, and had my home there, although my family have lived at Madison a part of the time. In 1869 I was a candi- date for the State Senate, and was beaten by George C. Hazelton. I was also a candidate for the State Senate against Noah H. Virgin, when he was a Republican, and I was beaten. I think this was in 187 1. After moving back to Cassville I was several years a director of the Branch of Josiah. 631 Cassville School District No. i, during which time the second brick school- house, adjoining the one previously built, was built. On my return to Cass- ville in 1863 I was elected chairman of the Town Board of Supervisors, and held the office for seven years in succession. In 1874 I was appointed by Gov. Taylor one of the Board of Directors of the State prison at Waupun; was reappointed by Gov. Smith in 1880, and held that office until the Board of Directors was abolished and the Board of Supervision of the State Institu- tions was established in the early summer of 1881. I have always taken a moderate interest in politics as a Democrat, and attended as a delegate very many county and State Democratic conventions. I was a delegate to the Democratic National conventions when Pierce, Buchanan, Seymour and Greeley were nominated. As I have hitherto refused all applications for a biographical sketch of myself, I thought I would make one as above, and leave it with my will for the use of anyone that might desire it. I have written the foregoing as a brief genealogy, and sketch of my early history, education and life, and how I came to settle in Wisconsin. It shows for itself. My executor, Her- man Grimm, will deliver it to whom he pleases. NELSON DEWEY. Nov. 24th, 1887. Such was the career of Governor Nelson Dewey as written by his own hand. But those who knew him best declare that it falls far short of doing justice to the pioneer man and statesman who had so much to do with the welfare of the Territory and State of Wisconsin. The following eulogy, delivered at the grave of Governor Dewey at the time of his death, by the Hon. S. U. Pinney, of Madison, Wis., is deemed worthy a place in this Family History: " This occasion is one of peculiar interest, and marks an era in the history of the State. The first governor of the State of Wisconsin, one long and prominently identified with public affairs, has passed away. Standing by his open grave, I think it not too much to say that at the time of his death he occupied the most interesting position, and was the foremost figure among the public men of the State. " Coming to the Territory of Wisconsin immediately upon its organiza- tion, he became at once prominent in public affairs; a member at different times of both branches of the Legislature; and so strongly and so favorably had he impressed himself by his public career upon the people, and upon public afiairs, that he was chosen the first governor of Wisconsin upon its admission into the Union. Upon him in a very large and important degree was devolved the onerous duty of organizing the administrative and execu- tive departments of the new government. With what skill and ability, with what rare judgment and discretion he discharged the delicate and responsi- ble duties of his high office, is well known to all familiar with those events, and was attested by the successful and harmonious operation of the newly organized government. As a governor he was our strong, our tried and trusted chief; he bore aloft with sturdy and faithful hand the standard of the State, and maintained, without tarnish or stain, its honor and dignity. " Governor Dewey belonged to the sterling and hardy band of western pioneers, and in Wisconsin was with the foremost among them. But they are fast passing away from the scenes of their labor and usefulness. It was 632 Dewey Genealogy. his privilege, with them, to witness during the last fifty years, a growth and development in Wisconsin similar to that in adjoining States, the like whereof, in all probability, the annals of civilization do not afford a parallel. He was conspicuous and particularl}' prominent in laying wide and deep the foundations of our civil institutions, and in organizing the State upon its change from territorial to State existence. He had very much to do with shaping its early policy and in starting it upon its subsequent happy and prosperous career. " The sparsely populated settlements that then existed within our borders soon expanded, coalesced, and developed into a rich, prosperous and power- ful State, and its progress in material wealth and general prosperity has exceeded the most sanguine expectation. "Under circumstances such as these the deceased lived a long, useful and eventful life, occupying a high position of honor and public trust, and in all of them he acquitted himself most honorably, leaving a public record of duty honestly, unostentatiously and faithfully performed. Military heroes and conquerors often achieve an enduring reputation and a wide renown, and at times find their way through slaughter to the throne; but peace has her victories, far more beneficent and blessed than those of war, and those to whom it is permitted to lay, upon a firm and enduring basis, the founda- tion of states and nations, and to develop civil institutions, to educate the people, guard their rights, and promote their welfare, attain to the highest and most beneficent triumphs accorded to human efforts. And in his daj and generation, for more than half a century, in the State of his adoption. Governor Dewey bore in this regard, right well, a high and honorable part " He was a man of vigorous intellect, of marked individuality, with traits of character and a nature calculated to exercise and maintain a stronj influence among men. Gifted with a clear intelligence, sound judgment anc firmness of purpose, he needed no prompting to the performance of the ful measure of duty. The sturdy simplicity and rugged integrity of his naturf commanded confidence and respect. The common people understood anc appreciated him. He was firm and abiding in his friendships, and a mar of such positive and decided character that he was always influential amonj his fellow-citizens and the prominent men of the State. These character istics rendered the strict performance of official duty comparatively easy and sustained him where others would have hesitated or failed. " The record of his life and public services is interwoven with the historj of the State. There is no need, therefore, of massive monument of granite or polished shaft of marble, to keep alive in the memory of our people hii name, character and public services. His monument, like that of his con temporaries of the early pioneers, is in the result of their labors. We hav( but to look around us and observe them; and see what they have buildec and developed, so wisely and so well; to look around upon the materia wealth and prosperity of a great and populous State, upon a happy, intelli gent and law-abiding people. " In the midst of such surroundings, after a long, busy and useful life at this most beautiful season of the year, when the land is blessed anc covered with an abundant harvest, and filled with quiet freshness and beauty what more appropriate occasion for the termination of such a career! Gov ernor Nelson Dewey, full of years and earthly honors, possessed with th( confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens, and mourned throughout the State, has gone to his grave. There peaceful be his rest." GOV. NELSON DEWEY, 323I. 1 SOLOMON PRATT DEWEY, 3I77. JOHN JAY DEWEY, M. D., 3235. JESSE EDBON DEWEY, 2D, 3673. WILLIAM STRONG DEWEY, 3245. JOHN JASPER DEWEY, 3246.

James Totten, at Camp McClel- lan, near Springfield, Mo.; was appointed corporal in September, 1863, and participated in the following battles: Surrender of Camp Jackson, St. Louis, Mo., May 10, 1861; Boonville, Mo., June 17, 1861; Dug Springs, Mo., Aug. 3 and 4, 1861; Willson's Creek, or Oak Hill, Mo., Aug. 10, 1861; Island No. 10 and New Madrid, Mo., early in 1862, date forgotten; Farmington, Miss., May 9 and 28, 1862; surrender of Corinth, Miss., 1862; luka.

During the Atlanta campaign the battery was engaged nearly every day, the most severe fighting occurring at Snaky Creek Gap, Dallas, Kenesaw Moun- tain, Marietta, Chattahoochee river, and near Atlanta, July 22, 1864, where General McPherson fell. After the fall of Atlanta many of the men re-enlisted, and got a furlough for thirty days, he, being the ranking non-' commissioned officer left in the battery, was placed in command until the 66o Dewey Genealogy. return of the officers, who were off on furlough. On the return of the offi- cers and men, was ordered to Nashville, and at the battle of Franklin and Nashville the company, not having field guns, was placed in a fort and manned some siege guns, but did not become engaged with the enemy. At the close of the war was ordered to Fort McHenry, opposite the city of Baltimore, Md. The service there was nothing more than the usual routine duty of a soldier in garrison. Some time in August, 1865, orders were received by the colonel commanding the regiment to transfer all enlisted men whose time expired previous to Nov. i, 1865, to the other four regi- ments of artillery, and to take ship for San Francisco with the remainder. As his time expired Oct. 23, 1865, he was transferred to Light Battery L, ist U. S. artillery and joined this battery at Fort Schuyler, New York harbor.

In 1849 he, with a company of relatives and friends, set out overland across the country to the gold fields of California; here he experienced some of the hardships of a miner's life. Having rAade his pile, he returned by steamer to New York, having been absent two and one-half years from his family. Not long after this he moved with his family to Waupaca, Wis., where he went into partnership with Dayton and Baldwin in the flour milling business. They did a prosperous business. In 1871, their mill burned and a new and finer one was immediately constructed. This firm, which was known as Day- ton, Dewey & Co., bought out the woolen mills near Waupaca, and ran a feed store in the city also. He was a prominent citizen of that place and made a host of friends who admired his genial and benevolent qualities. In the year 1880, he removed to Chicago, where he was engaged with his son, David C. Dewey, in the commission business until his death; m.

July 13, 1816, at Poultney, Vt. ; began work in his father's shop when he was thirteen years old. In 1836 he was given his time, and left home to seek his fortune; he first engaged in the jewelry business at Perrysburg, O. In 1834 he removed to Fort Wayne, Ind., and there continued in the jewelry business. In 1843 he returned to Sandusky, O., and began the manufacture of town clocks, in which he made many improvements, such as reducing the number of wheels in the movement. He was later engaged in the jewelry business at Tiffin, O., and at Sandusky, until 1857, when he purchased a farm one mile from the last-named place, and planted thereon a vineyard. This was the pioneer vineyard in northern Ohio, on the main shore of Lake Erie. There were already several small vineyards on Kelley's Island. Mr. Dewey's success was immediate; by i860 his vines were in full bearing and were a wonder to the people of the surrounding country; hundreds of visitors came to inspect the vineyard, people became enthused, and business men, professional men, school teachers and others began to buy land upon which to plant vineyards, and property in the neighborhood advanced from $75 to $400 per acre. The idea had hitherto prevailed that grape culture could only be successfully conducted on an island. Mr. Dewey first sold his fruit for table purposes, but in 1862 he began to make wine, and put up 4,000 gallons, the following year, 15,000, and progressed from year to year, until the business of wine making absorbed his entire attention. In 1865 he opened a house in New York for the sale of his wines. There then existed a great prejudice against American wines, and the outlook was discouraging. Success was at first slow in coming, and it was hard to do away with the popular prejudices then existing. But in time the American product came to be appreciated, and Mr. Dewey found ready and increasing sale for his wines, and the pioneer American wine house has established for itself a name and trade; m.

After this he was engaged in the manufacture of cheese and evaporation of apples, being one of the first to use the process of bleaching apples with sulphur fumes. Since his removal to Pomona in November, 1883, Mr. Dewey has devoted his attention almost exclusively to horticulture, contracting for the care of orchards for non-residents and others. In this particular line it is but justice to say he bears a reputation second to none in the valley for painstaking and careful attention to the interests of others. His long and varied experience in the cultivation of both citrous and deciduous fruits, coupled with an intelligent and increasing research into Nature's laws and secrets, admirably fits him for the position he occupies as the guardian of many valuable orchards. A number of the most profitable orange groves in the valley were planted and reared by him. He is a member of the Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World, and other societies; m.

Graduated at Amherst college in 1874 and acted as college librarian from 1873 till 1876, when he moved to Boston to devote himself to popular education through the promotion of libraries and systematizing library work, the introduction of the international or metric weights and measures and the simplification of English spelling, these being the three things which in his judgment were the leading obstacles to the spread of universal education. At the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876, he was the active organizer of three national associations for advancing these interests, the American I^ibrary Association, the Spelling Reform Association and the American Metric Bureau. As secretary and executive officer he had for fifteen years the entire charge of their work, in which he had as associates the most prominent educators, librarians and philologists of the country. He has contributed largely, usually without signature, to periodical literature in advancing his ideas, has written numerous books and pamphlets, prepared catalogues and Branch of Josiah. 699 indexes and edited the Library Journal, Library Notes, Metric Bulletin, Metric Advocate, Spelling Reform Bulletin and Spelling. For twenty-five years he has been an active worker in educational fields and a frequent speaker before both educational and general audiences. All his addresses and literary work have been for the advancement of his educational ideas. In 1876 he also founded and was sole manager of the Library Bureau and of the Readers and Writers Economy Company, both the first institutions of their kind and the model from which a dozen large manufacturing and com- mercial houses in this and other countries have taken their ideas, all based on the original central idea, labor-saving methods and devices for literary and desk workers. In 1881 he was asked to take charge of American library interests as a part of the United States Bureau of Education in carrying out his own ideas of public recognition of the proper.place of libraries. He was unable to find any one to carry on the various lines of work for which he was responsible in Boston, and declined the position, which was never filled. In May, 1883, he was chosen chief librarian of Columbia college, and in 1884 was made professor of library economy and director of the library school. During the six years at Columbia he was more than any other officer associated with Pres. Barnard in discussing the pending development from a college to a university, the establishment of the woman's department now known as Barnard college, the adoption of the metric system and of standard time, in which the American Meteorological Society was the leading factor, and of which, as of the American Metric Bureau in Boston, Dr. Barnard was president and Mr. Dewey was secretary. During these years numerous clubs and associations for promoting various phases of the general educa- tional work were organized or found a home and meeting place at the Columbia library, which in the six years of his administration added more volumes than had been added in the previous 130 years of its existence, taking the place it continues to hold as one of the great university libraries of the world. In 1888 he was employed by the State as consulting librarian to supervise the preparation of the rooms in the capitol for the State library, and in December was unanimously elected by the regents as secretary, treasurer and executive officer of the University of the State of New York, and also as director of the State library. He moved to Albany, Jan. i, 1889, and is best known by the work accomplished there in the past ten years, during which time the University has been wholly reorganized, all the laws pertain- ing to secondary, higher and professional education of the past century have been replaced by the new University law drawn by Mr. Dewey as his con- ception of the present educational ideals. The University includes besides its administrative work, the college department, including universities, professional and technical schools and all matters pertaining to degrees and 700 Dewey Genealogy. licenses; the high school department, including all interests of secondary edu- cation; the home education department, including libraries, museums, study clubs, classes, lectures, extension, correspondence or personal instruction, summer, evening, vacation or other continuation.schools, and other agencies for providing educational facilities and opportunities outside of the ordinary teaching institutions. The State library and State museum, which include the scientific interests of the State, are also departments of the University. At home and abroad this work has been generously recognized and compe- tent authorities have frequently declared that in no other place in America was there so much to be found for inspiration or information of those who were studying on the broadest lines, the most progressive educational work of our time. More than half the States of the Union have within the past five years paid the highest possible compliment by adopting more or less of this work into their own systems. The legislature has recognized the practi- cal value of this new development and has provided with yearly increasing liberality for the remarkable growth which in many fields has exceeded i,ooo per cent, in the ten years since Mr. Dewey undertook the reorganization. As Mr. Dewey has for a quarter ceutury been the most active apostle of the idea that the library is the corner stone of the best modern education, his activities have been largely in that direction and to many he is known as a librarian, but in fact he comes to librarianship from the educational, not the bookish, side. Twenty-five years ago he became imbued with the idea that libraries were the necessary complement of the schools in any satisfac- tory scheme of public education. The realization of this ideal he chose as his life work, and for almost a generation he has been the pioneer in nearly all the movements and organizations for promoting general library interests. There have always been associates and helpers, but the records show what they have been glad to recognize, that it was usually his faith and courage and unwearied devotion, which with an enthusiasm that would not be balked, carried most of these plans through. The American Library Association is his conception of a national society of those most interested in the modern library idea. For fifteen years he was secretary and executive officer and had charge of its offices; then he was elected president and again took the helm for the ten days international library meeting at Chicago during the Columbian exposition. Of the Library Journal, which won and has held its place for twenty-two years as the leading library periodical of the world, he was the founder, editor and manager for the first five years. The Library Bureau as a centre for the work not done by the association and Journal, he organized and managed till his election as chief librarian of Columbia university in 1883. In 1885, the New York Library Club, the first of the long series of successful library clubs, was founded in his office, and he was its president when he resigned at Columbia to undertake the first Branch of Josiah. 701 thorough organization of the library work of an entire State. In June, 1886, he started and edited the quarterly magazine, Library Notes, now replaced by the monthly, Public Libraries. Jan. 5, 1887, he opened at Columbia the first school in the world for the training of librarians, and is still its director, it having been transferred from Columbia University to the State on his removal to Albany. From this first school have sprung a dozen other institutions, nearly every one of which has as both first and second officers students trained under Mr. Dewey, with whom the now fully recognized system of professional training for librarianship had its practical origin. In 1889 he was elected the first president of the Association of State Librarians at the national meeting in St. Louis. In 1890 he started the first of the library associations for the individual States, and New York's example has now been followed by most of the other States. In 1892 he drafted the most comprehensive and far-reaching library law yet placed on the statutes of any State or nation, for in it the library is first fully recognized as taking its place beside the public school as a part of the State's educational system. This was followed by his organization of the Public Libraries Department, with the now famous system of traveling libraries and State inspection which is being copied by so many other States. Mr. Dewey has always given freely of his time and strength to help in library matters in any part of the countr)', and no other American is so often consulted regarding library buildings, reorganization, new laws and similar matters. It was he who proposed first in 1877 the now famous A. L. A. catalogue, of which he was appointed editor in 1884. He persisted in the idea till it was carried out by the exhibit at the Columbian Exposition of the model library of 5,000 volumes. He is the author of many new features, methods and devices widely used in this country and abroad. His manuals of rules for accession, shelf and catalogue departments are widely used as text-books, and the principal volume 'on library administration, issued by the United States Bureau of Education, was planned and edited by him as part of his presidential work at the time of the World's Congress of Librarians at Chicago in 1893. He is best known, how- ever, by the Decimal Classification and Relative Index, published firstin 1876, and now in its sixth edition. This has spread by its own merits as people have learned that it was the most remarkable library labor saver yet devised, and it is now used in nearly every civilized country of the globe, more libraries having adopted it than all other systems combined. Its last recognition was the unanimous adoption after protracted discussion of all available systems for official use by the International Institute of Bibliography, which is carry- ing on in all the modern languages the most comprehensive scheme of cata- loguing and i ndexing ever undertaken. The system is widely used by individual students and has been characterized as a new and practical universal language common to scholars of all nations. In 1896 when the National Educational Association organized for the first time a library 702 Dewey Genealogy. department, in recognition of the broad views which Mr. Dewey had advo- cated before its council he was elected as first president. In 1897 Mr. Dewey was commissioned by the United States government as delegate to the International Congress of Librarians in connection with the Queen's Jubilee in London. The recognition he has won at home and abroad was voiced by the chief librarian of Oxford University, who, at a public meeting, in summing up the progress of twenty years, said that to Mr. Dewey was due more than to all other librarians together the remarka- ble progress of the two decades which had won for librarianship its distinct recognition among the learned professions. Mr. Dewey has been an active supporter of every practicable improve- ment in legislative or administrative methods, and has drafted numerous laws and reports designed to secure needed changes. For many years he has been chairman of the State Board of Examiners of the Civil Service Com- mission, and is an ardent supporter of that reform. He has been an active and lifelong opponent of liquor and tobacco, and loses no opportunity to promote the cause of temperance. As a public officer for ten years Mr. Dewey has made warm friends and strong enemies, and is proud of both, because of his conscientious, vigorous and fearless discharge of what he conceived to be his duty to the State. He believes that New York should not be second to any part of the world in the excellence of its educational institutions in all their phases, and to this ideal he is devoting all his efforts. M.

Mrs. Dewey is an ofificer of both the State and National Domestic Science Associations and she is the execu- tive ofificer of the trustees, and has the active direction of the Placid Club, the most extensive and promising experiment yet undertaken in the practical application of domestic science, economics and co-operation to the problem of the summer vacation. The club has over 1,000 acres of land and forty Branch of Josiah. 703 buildings at Lalce Placid, in the Adirondack forest of New York, and draws together yearly a remarkable company of cultivated people interested in its novel aim of utilizing all the teachings of science in gaining during the summer the greatest rest and new strength for the work of the coming year. 4781, ADDICE E.

Again on April 29, 1729, " it was voted for Joseph Dewey to give bond to Endemnifie the town on taxes." He was duputy for Hebron, 1727-1729. At the Connecticut General Assembly in October, 1726, Mr. Joseph Dewey of Hebron was granted " the sum of four pounds out of the Colony money that he hath already in his hands, for informing against one Wm. Carrick, for making and uttering counterfeit bills, as set forth in said Dewey's petition, on file." (Colonial Records of Connecticut.) At the close of the Book " Poetical Meditations, being the Improvement of Some Vacant Hours," by Roger Wolcott, Esq., with preface by Rev. Mr. Bulkley, of Colchester, printed in New London, and sold by T. Green, 1725, is an advertisement of three pages by Mr. Dewey, a clothier, a part of which is as follows: " I, the Subscriber, having these many years (even from my youth) been Imployed in the making and working of Cloth, and having seen with Regret the Errors which some People commit in their Preparations about so good and needful a work, am willing to offer a few Thoughts to Consideration; and having been something at Charge in promoting the Publishing the fore- going ' Meditations,' do here take the Liberty to Advertise my Country People of some Rules which ought to be observed, in doing their part, that so the Clothires might be assisted in the better performance of what is expected of them, that the Cloth which is made among us may both wear and Last, better, than it can possibly do, Except these following Directions be Observed by us." Branch of Israel. 723 Seven directions follow, the last of which is — "Let your Weavres Observe, not to Siaie your cloth too high; but let them Vse more Filling than Chain; and beat it up well in the Weaving thereof. " These are the Things which I humbly offer, hoping they'll be followed and not Slighted by my neighbours and Country-folks, whom I wish well to, and am ready to serve. JOSEPH DEWEY." " Colchester, 1725: In May, 1728, Joseph Dewey, of Hebron, and Samuel Higley, of Simsbury, were licensed for the sole practice of making steel in the colony for ten years. The following are extracts from the will of Joseph Dewey, of Hebron, Conn., made Dec. 24, 1730, when he was sick and weak; gave to " nephew Charles son of beloved brother David Dewey of Westfield, Mass., the farm on which the house and mills stand, lying partly in Hebron and partly in Colchester, the house in which I live, with mills, barn and all implements; reserving to Benj. Taylor the use of said farm, mills, etc., in partnership with Charles Deway for ten years from my decease. To Israel and Jabez, sons of my brother Israel Dewey of Stonington deceased, 147 acres I have lying near to John Trot in Hebron, equally to be divided. To nephew Charles the meadow lot in North Meadow at Hebron, near Mr. Bliss; also all other lands north of the farm where the mills stand. Executors to dis- pose of my farm in Hebron, 142 acres near where Baker lives; to pay just debts; also three meadow lots in Little Meadow near Samuel Calkins in Hebron, also 32 acres in the plaine at Hebron by Mr. Bliss, with land I ought to have of Nathaniel Dewey of Lebanon, in Lebanon ; also rights I have in a ' place called Union,' except 50 acres in said Union to be set out to Isaac Burroughs, my cousin.

An amusing story is told of the first ride the elder Asaph Dewey had in the steam cars. His journey from Richmond, Mass., to Albany, N. Y., was by horseback or stage coach and was uneventful. Upon arriving at Albany, he boarded a car bound for Schenectady and had hardly recovered from the novelty of the ride, when suddenly the train stopped and he and the other passengers were unceremoniously ordered to " Get out and help push the car up grade! " All the passengers except Asaph Dewey meekly submitted to the imperious command; and no doubt he enjoyed hugely the grimaces of his fellow-travelers as they pushed the car along. Riding in the cars was probably " too slow," for Asaph Dewey returned home by way of the canal. Branch of Israel. 745 M.

Years passed; the rude log cabin was exchanged for a commodious public house. Railroads were scarcely known in those early days, and it being on the direct road from Montreal to Albany, near the Province line, it was a place sought for rest and refreshments by the traveler. It was also the scene of great excitement, and of danger as well, during the War of 1812, and the children distinctly remembered the British army passing their home en route for Plattsburgh, numbering fourteen thousand men. They were three days passing, four abreast; the brilliant uniforms and glittering bayonets so impressed their minds that they could not forget, and the soldiers seemed like a countless multitude. During the naval battle which was fought near Plattsburgh, the booming of the cannon was distinctly heard, and after their defeat the squads of flying soldiers passed the house in their hasty retreat into Canada. At about the close of the war Lovisa Hamilton Dewey, wife of Elias, ist, taking sufficient gold in her saddle bags, went over almost impass- able roads to Malone, about fifty-five miles west of Champlain, and pur- chased the homestead to which Elias Dewey, 2d, took his bride in 1823; m.

Y., where he was one of the first settlers, made a clearing and built a log house; was a man of indomitable courage and perseverance; was obliged to travel ninety-six miles to Albany to market his produce, the trip occupying three days. Wolves were plenty and furious in the woods surrounding his home, sometimes attacking and killing his cattle and sheep. On one occasion, as he was returning from the then small village of Utica, traveling by way of marked trees, which was the only road, 49 Tjo Dewey Genealogy. a pack of wolves followed him, being attracted by the smell of fish, of which he had purchased a quantity that day. To save his own life and that of his horses became his one thought. As the wolves came nearer he threw out some of the fish and then drove on as fast as possible, thus placing a greater distance between them. After devouring the fish the wolves followed on again, when he would throw out more, and so reached home in safety, but without the barrel of fish with which he started. His log house having burned, with considerable loss, he erected a fine two-story frame dwelling, which stood in 1898 on the old site in good preservation. Mr. Dewey was a prominent figure at general training in the old militia days, being captain; rode a jet black horse, by the name of Pompey, which pranced in pride when led forth clicked with the trappings of war, and understood what was required of him with a perception little short of human. His sword, flint-lock pistols, spurs, and other accoutrements have long been in the possession of his grandson, George W. Dewey, of Deerfield, N. Y. The last time he attended general training, on reaching home after riding for hours in the rain, he was unable to dismount from his horse without assistance, and from then until death was confined with rheumatism, for seventeen years, the last seven being unable to feed himself; m. , 1813, MEHITABLE ROBERTS, of Pittsfield, or Dalton, Mass., b.

The present was as unexpected as hand- some, and took Lieut. Dewey completely by surprise.

V., by the Members of said Company as a Token of Esteem. Fortress Monroe, April 28, 1862.' The presentation was made in a neat speech by Private Martin Lawless.

Nov. 28, 1798, at New Berne, N. C. ; d. Oct. 20, 1880, ag. 81, at Raleigh, N. C. ; the following sketch was written by his son, F. H. Dewey, of Portsmouth, Va: " He was raised and educated at New Berne, N. C, but during his early days was at Stonington, Conn., several times, so I have understood him to say; but after I was a boy in my teens I recollect of his making one visit there, and understood him to say that there were none of the old people then living that he had known when a boy. His father, John Dewey, was an architect, and there are several buildings now standing in New Berne, N. C, that he erected; one ia particular, 'The Masonic Temple,' and theatre. In those days New Berne was the capital of the State and the seat of the colonial government. Charles Dewey commenced his business career as a clerk in a store (gro- ceries, etc.), then went into the bank as clerk, the old State Bank of North Carolina; from New Berne he was sent to Fayette ville, N. C, as cashier of the branch bank at that place, and from there he was sent to Raleigh and made cashier of the parent bank or mother bank, as I believe it was called; Branch of Israel. 837 when he died in Raleigb, he had been in the banking business for more than fifty years, and in that time had served three different State banks and one National bank ; he died in the harness. He had been a blue stocking Presby- terian all his days, and as far back as I can recollect was an elder in the church. He died a poor man, never having allowed the riches of others to lure him from the path of duty. My father was a well developed specimen of manhood, being six feet and over in height, blue eyes, fair complexion, large, though shapely hands, wore a number nine shoe, and was said to be the neatest old gentleman in the State of North Carolina."

FRANKLIN HAYLANDER DEWEY, son of Charles, b. June i8, 1840, at Raleigh, N. C. ; the following is his career, written by himself: " In the fall of 1865 I went to Newbern, N. C, to take charge of a business there, and found that there were three different families of Deweys there, or representatives of other families; having been born and reared in Raleigh I was there until the war broke out in 1861 ; during the war I was in different parts of the State. I had an appointment as second lieutenant in Co. A, 4th regt. N. C. State troops, but never as such went into active service, having been detailed for duty with the ' Military Board ' at Raleigh, composed of Warren Winslow, military secretary, Haywood William Guion, and Andrew Jackson Bradford; at the death of Governor John W. Ellis, — Clark, speaker of the Senate, became governor, ex officio^ and I was detailed by the military secretary to act as private secretary to Gov. Clark until he could appoint his secretary; I then became chief clerk at headquarters, department of North Carolina, Gen. Richard C. Catling commanding; I was at Newbern, N. C, when that town was captured by the United States troops, but was not captured; shortly after this Gen. Catling was releived, and I returned to Raleigh, and went into the treasury department of the State of North Caro- lina, as one of the clerks, and was engaged for a long time signing treasury notes of small denominations, known as " shinplasters; " when Raleigh was about to be surrendered I started for Charlotte with the valuables belonging to the Southern Express Co., but owing to the fact that one Stoneman had cut the railroad, I did not reach my destination for eighteen days after General Lee's surrender; then as soon as matters quieted down I returned to Raleigh; then to Newbern, in the fall of 1865, where I remained for about one year; then to Wilmington, N. C, for another year; then back to Raleigh; from there to Charlotte, N. C, in fall of 1867-8, where I was engaged in business for about twenty years; then back to Raleigh for about four years, and then to this place, Portsmouth, Va., where I have been for the last six years. Speaking of tall men: My father, as I have said, was over six feet; I am 6 ft. 1-2 in. and my oldest son, Haywood Guion, is six feet four in his socks; and my second son, Franklin Haylander, now in his seventeenth year, is at least six feet, weighs 160 or 165 lbs.; all my children have brown hair and fair skins, taking mostly after my mother's side of the house, who was half Swede; while the children of my half brothers, Dr. Charles Dewey and Thomas W. Dewey, have very black hair and dark com- plexion; the children of Dr. Chas. F. Dewey at Goldsboro have, I am told, an old seal that has on it a coat of arms of the Dewey family and, I am informed, is like the coat of arms of the Admiral, that has been printed in the papers." M.

DESCENDANTS OF THE FOURTH SON OF THOMAS DEWEY THE SETTLER. JEDEDIAH THE FIRST. 5. JEDEDIAH DEWEY, Ensign, son of Thonaas the Settler, was b. Dec. 15, 1647, at Windsor, Conn.; d. May — , 1718, ag. 70, at Westfield, Mass.; m. at Farmington, Conn., and lived there a short time after. The lands at Windsor, belonging to him, were sold in his twenty-first year to John Grant and Lieut. Fyler. In the same year he is mentioned at Westfield, Mass., which was then being settled under the direction of a committee appointed by the town of Springfield for that purpose, Captain John Pynchon being chairman. On page thirty-six of the Westfield Proprietors' Records we find the following, under date of Aug. 27, i668: " There was granted' by the Committee to Jedediah Dewey, fifteen or sixteen acres of land (viz.)^ the remainder of Weller"s lot and a homelot." About two years after (1670) he received a grant of " a homelot of six acres on the fort side," and it was probably then that he removed.

It was not until after the quiet that succeeded the defeat and death of the Indian warrior King Philip, that the settlers began to move much from the "compact dwelling," that they then were ordered to form, and com- menced to make grants " two miles without the meeting house; " in other words, outside the stockade nrhich enclosed an area of about two miles in cicumference around their fort, which stood near the confluence of the Westfield and Little rivers; then in February, 1687, he, with other proprie- [843] 844 Dewey Genealogy. tors, received a grant of twenty acres " two miles without tbe meeting house; " served in the various town offices of the period; selectman in 1678, '86, '95, '97, '99; first mentioned as ensign in 1686; was made a freeman, Jan. I, 1680, and joined the church Sept. 28 in same year; was a wheel- wright and lived on east corner of Silver and South streets, at Westfield, Mass. He was the only one of the sons of Thomas Dewey the Settler to make a will, which follows: Jedediah Dewey, of Westfield, being of perfect mind and memory, thanks be God, considering ye mortality of my body and knowing yt it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament and principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul unto ye hands of God who gave it and my body to be buried with Christian burial at ye discretion of my friends, hoping that at ye resurrection I shall receive ye same again by ye almighty power of God. And concerning such worldly estates as God hath pleased to bless me with in this life, I give, Demiss and dispose of as follows: Imprimis Item. I give to my son Jedediah ye house and lot where he now lives, there being about twelve or thirteen acres of the land and also my ix acre lot at Mun's Meadow and also my four acre lot in ye Neck, bounded oy ye land of John Sacket westerly. Item. I give to my son Thomas ye lot which I bought of Mr. Cornish, eing about ten or eleven acres and also my lot south of ye road as we go ^o Two Mile Brook.

My daughters which are by ye disposing hand of God deceased, have already had near thirty lbs. apiece of my estate ; also give to their children surviving, forty shillings apiece six lbs. to my daughter Sarah's three chil- dren and ten lbs. to my daughter Margaret's five children. My daughter Hannah having received something considerable at her marriage as her sisters had, but being taken away by ye providence of God and her children both, I think it will not be expected that I should add anything further upon her account. Item. I give to my other two daughters Mary and Abigail forty lbs. apiece out of my moveable estate. Item. I give to my son James my seven acre lot bounded by ye land of David Ashley westerly. Item. I give to my son James my house and home- stead where I now live and my two acre lot by ye meeting house and also Branch of Jedediah. 845 my three acre lot in ye neck bounded by Pixley's land easterly; also I give to my son James eight acres of land by ye mountain at ye hinter end of it next to Daniel Bagg's marsh I give to James tools sufificient for his use about his trade and my black gun; the rest of my land in ye field and with out ye field I give to my four sons in Westfield to be equally divided amongst them the rest of my moveable estate I give to all my surviving children to be equally divided amongst them and I do constitute my sons Jedediah and James to be my executors of this my last will and testament, hereby ratifying this my last will and testament.

April 11, 1714, at Westfield, Mass.; d. Dec. 21, 1778, ag. 64, at Bennington, Vt. ; about his life and achievements we gather much data from " Memorials of a Century," by Rev. Isaac Jennings, of Bennington. Unquestionable evidence has descended to us of his fervent piety and ability, as well as fidelity. A letter from Westfield, Mass., from the pen of the Rev. Emerson Davis, D. D., pastor of the original church in Westfield (which Mr. Dewey left to join the Separates), is interesting; and some extracts from it may be presented here : " Mr. Dewey united with the church (the original church in Westfield), Oct. 30, 1738, at twenty-four years of age. Soon after this the church adopted the half-way covenant. . . . This was particularly offensive to some of the earnest and devoted members. They said the church had abandoned its principles and would admit unconverted persons to the church. Many absented themselves from the communion. They left the church. Mr. Dewey did so, in 1748. He was called to give account in 1749. In 1750 the church voted that, inasmuch as he had gone out from them, had joined the Separates, and become their preacher, that they would no longer regard him as one of their number. They did not call it excommunication, but a withdrawal of fellowship. Mrs. Dewey was cut off in the same manner in 1751. Mr. Dewey had only a common-school education, but he was intelli- gent and gifted. His Christian character stood high. The church refused 856 Dewey Genealogy. to excommunicate him, because it would imply something criminal, and so they only withdrew fellowship." From these few but interesting particulars we can learn somewhat as to the sort of man he was. He was an earnest Christian, and had a conscience of his own, and aimed to do good, that his life should not be a blank. He had learned the trade of a carpenter. When the first meeting-house was raised the force was insufficient, and one of the sides halted when partly up. Mr. Dewey stepped forward and said to the builder, " Do you take a pole and help to lift with the men, and I will give the word of command." The builder complied. At that instant two men came riding up on horseback from the south. They dismounted, and also grasped the poles. Mr. Dewey gave the word of command, and the side of the frame went up forthwith to its perpendicular position, was fastened, and the raising of the building was completed without further delay. He also built or superintended the building of the house in which he resided. It is a proof of Mr. Dewey's sterling qualities that, though a Separate and without liberal education, though a party was increasing in the church more in sympathy with the Standing Order Congregational churches, — a reaction apparent in the controversy of the church respecting the method of raising the salary and other moneys for expense of public worship, and which became decisive in the character of Mr. Dewey's successor, and in the character of the men composing the council which installed Mr. Avery, — yet Mr. Dewey was as much esteemed by the conservatives as by any portion of the church and congregation. An incidental paragraph in the Rev. Mr. Avery's published narrative cor- i-oborates the estimate here presented. Referring to the history of the church under Mr. Dewey's ministry, he says: " As a number of professors, not of the Separate order, have become inhabitants of the town, and have great respect for the personal and ministerial endowments of the Rev. Mr. Dewey, who was of catholic and liberal principles, they have, at different periods, joined the communion here. From the time of his first connection with the Westfield Church as its pastor to the close of his labors in Benning- ton was a period of twenty-nine years. His pastorate of the Bennington Church continued through a period of fifteen years and four months. In rude and boisterous times he built up the infant church in its new home, and left it to his successors with a roll of at least one hundred and twenty-seven names. (Inclusive of those deceased and those dismissed.) Mr. Dewey was also a patriot. With a warm love of his people, and a profound interest in the future prosperity of the infant settlement, where he had cast in his lot, his energies were unavoidably taxed, not only by the spiritual wants, but also by the secular exigencies of the community. As early as January, 1770, he was indicted with others at Albany, as one Branch of Jedediah. 857 of the leaders in the efforts of the settlers to maintain their land titles; not that he was active in any violent sense, but his counsels were understood at Albany to have weight with his fellow-citizens on public affairs. In May, 1772, in a spirited correspondence between the New York governor and the inhabitants of Bennington, his name is foremost in the address of the gov- enor's letter, and at the head of the signatures in the names of the Benning- ton men to that letter. The following passage occurs in that letter: " I am told Mr. Dewey, a minister of the Gospel, James Breakenridge, and Mr. Fay (Dr. Jonas Fay) are persons in whose judgment you have much confidence. I should there- fore think they would be your proper messengers on a business in which you are so deeply concerned, especially Mr. Dewey, who has been favorably represented here since my appointment to this government." As the result of this correspondence with Governor Tryon, in which Mr. Dewey took a leading part, the government of New York for a time quite modified its course ; so much so that the settlers here thought their troubles connected with this controversy had come to an end. Guns were fired in Bennington, speeches made, and a vast concourse from this and neighboring places united in celebrating what they believed, or hoped, was the dawn of peace. These bright hopes were destined, however, to be blasted, but it shows that Mr. Dewey did what he could wisely, by peaceful negotiation, to bring an end to controversy, and that his influence with Governor Tryon was not inconsiderable. But Mr. Dewey, it appears, understood and applied the maxim that there are times when forbearance ceases to be a virtue; and hence he was feared as well as respected at Albany He was, as all accounts agree, a man of stern force in the discharge of his duty according to his conscience. In 1777, when the Revolutionary War had commenced, and the enemy were descending the Hudson river with great force, and threatening to devastate the whole country, and had sent a detachment to capture the military stores at Bennington, he preached a war sermon. He told his people to take arms and go fight for their country. On the next Saturday the Bennington battle was fought and won. The two following anecdotes do not seem exactly credible, but they are among the traditional anecdotes of Bennington, and given as related to the writer: It is related that on one occasion, when Ethan Allen was in the congrega- tion, and Mr. Dewey was preaching on the character of God, some remark in the discourse displeased Col. Allen; he arose in his place at the head of a prominent pew in the broad aisle, and saying with an audible voice, " It's not so," started to go out of the pew, evidently with the intention of leav- ing the house. Mr. Dewey, lifting up bis right hand, and pointing with his forefinger directly at Col. Allen, said, " Sit down, thou bold blasphemer, and listen to the Word of God." Allen, who had too strong a taste for that 8s 8 Dewey Genealogy. style of doing things not to like it under any circumstances, immediately resumed his seat, and gave respectful attention to the remainder of the discourse. It is also related that at the public divine service of thanksgiving for the capture of Ticonderoga, in which Allen bore so heroic and so famous a part, many officers from Ticonderoga attended, and Allen was present. Mr. Dewey preached, and made the prayer, in which he gave to God all the glory and praise of the capture of the stronghold. Allen, in the midst of the prayer, called out, " Parson Dewey! Parson Dewey! Parson Dewey! " The third time of so pronouncing his name made Mr. Dewe}' to pause and open his eyes. Allen then raised both hands and said, " Please mention to the Lord about my being there! " Mr. Dewey, taking no further notice of the interruption, proceeded with the public devotions. He could also be genial and pleasant. One or two characteristic anecdotes are proper to be introduced to illustrate this. When the house, now the residence of Aaron L. Hubbell, and built by his father, was raised, Mr. Dewey was present; also Joseph Rudd, who was engaged to be married to Sarah Wickwire, then living in a house nearly opposite. Mr. Dewey, who knew of the intention of marriage, said to Joseph, " If you will go and lead Sarah over here, I will marry you for nothing." The reply was, " It's a bargain." Joseph led the young lady to the place, some planks were laid down upon the timbers for a floor, and they were married. It is related, there was a stupid and withal an eccentric or half-witted servant man in Mr. Dewey's house, who had the strange habit of arising in the night, and wandering from room to room with a lighted candle in his hand. Mr. Dewey, who was both a careful and an economical man, rebuked the individual, saying he feared his house would be set on fire by such pro- ceedings, and moreover he did not like to have his candles consumed so uselessly; but on the very next night he heard the noise of the man about the house again. Mr. Dewey, full of indignation, and designing to be very severe, proceeded to the room, and lo! instead of one candle, the fellow, had two, one in each hand, illuminating his nocturnal perambulations. Mr. Dewey, who had a sense for the ludicrous, suddenly forgot his anger, and retired from the scene, saying not a word. If Mr. Dewey had any enemies, it has not been handed down. The valuable right of land called the minister's right was settled upon him by vote, as follows: "July i8, 1763. — Voted, To give the Rev. Jedidiah Dewey the lot of land called the minister's, in said Bennington, exclusive of the labor already done on said lot, in case said Mr. Dewey settles with us in the gospel min- istry." "November i, 1763. — Voted, To give the Rev. Mr. Jedidiah Dewey the lot of land called the minister's lot, for his settlement, as an encouragement for him in the work of the ministry." Branch of Jedediah. ' 859 The following deed gives the names of the original members in the First Baptist Church at Westfiield: "On the 17th of April, 1753, Jonathan Fowler, of Westfield, husbandman, for good will and respect to Jedediah Dewey, John Noble, George Granger, Ebenezer Bush, Abel Morley, Israel Dewey, Moses Kellogg, Pompey Negro, and Nathaniel Collins, who being incor- porated into a body whom I look upon to be a Church of Christ, for which reason I grant to them land near Little River on the south side of a certain brook upon Bridge Hill or Dewey's hill, or near the place where Josiah Dewey's house formerly stood on the east side the highway, near the dwell- ing house of Asa Noble; bounded west on said highway, east on land of said Fowler, north on the brow of the hill or his own land, south on said Fowler's land, containing fifty foot square, to build a house on for the worship of God, so long as they, their successors and followers shall use and improve the same for that use and no longer." The grave of Rev. Jedediah Dewey is in the old part of the cemetery at Bennington. At its head is a pretentious slab bearing the following inscrip- tion: " Rev. Mr. Jedediah Dewey | First Pastor of the Church in | Benning- ton, who after a laborious | life in the Gospel Ministry | resigned his office in God's I Temple for the sublime | employment of Immortality | Dec. 21, 1778.

Y., July 15, 1779 (see also Fassett-FoUett-Dewey Gene.), the following being an extract: A party, on pleasure, had been visiting the island on a little sailing excursion, and havjng lingered longer upon that beautiful spot than they were conscious of, as night drew on, concluded to encamp for the night, it being too late to return to the fort. " From the shore where we laid hid," said Cane, " it was easy to watch their motions, and perceiving their defenseless situation, as soon as it was dark we set off for the island, where we found them asleep by their fire, and discharged our guns among them; several were killed, among whom was one woman, who had a sucking child, which was not hurt. This we put to the breast of its dead mother, and so we left it. But Major Hopkins was only wounded, his thigh bone being broken; he started from his sleep to a rising posture, when I struck him," said Barney Cane, "with the butt of my gun, on the side of the head; he fell over, but caught on one hand; I then knocked him the other way, when he caught with the other hand; a third blow and I laid him dead; they were all scalped but the infant. In the morning a party from the fort went and took away the dead, together with one they found alive, though he was scalped, and the babe, which was hanging and sobbing at the bosom of its lifeless mother." 870 Dewey Genealogy.

He was captain of one of the Bennington companies early in the War of the Revolution; he was at Ticonderoga in the fall of 1776, and again at the evacuation of that fort by St. Clair in July, 1777; he was at the head of his company in the battle of Bennington, Aug. 14, 1777; in service at Saratoga on the surrender of Burgoyne in October, 1777; also served the public in various stations in civil life. At the convention of delegates of the inhabitants of the New Hampshire Grants west of the Green Mountains, at Cephas Kent's, in Dorset, Jan. 16, 1776, it was voted, that Simeon Hathaway, Elijah Dewey, and Jonas Breakenridge, be a committee Branch of Jedediah. 871 with power " to warn a general meeting of the committees on the Grants, when they shall judge necessary from southern intelligence." He represented the town in General Assembly, in 1786-87-88, in 1796, and again in 1812-13; and was a member of the Council of Censors in 1792; He was a Federalist in politics, and headed the list of presidential elec- tors of Vermont in 1797, and also in 1801, voting on the first occasion for Washington, and on the second for John Adams. Captain Dewey was a man of sound and discriminating judgment, of undoubted integrity, who did well dnd faithfully whatever he undertook. He did not unite with the church until his last sickness, receiving the sacrament at his residence, and uniting May 17, 1818. His active, earnest, and life-long devotion to the external religious prosperity of the com- munity entitles him to a place among the supporters of the means of grace. It was a common remark of his that no cae lost anything by going to church. He was very wealthy, nearly as much so as Gov. Moses Robinson, who was estimated to be worth $90,000; and no one in the place, except probably Gov. Robinson, contributed more largely to the support of public worship. Captain Elijah Dewey kept a public house (called the Dewey House, now the Walloomsac House), during the first session of the Legislature, and as a compensation for his services or attentions in some way, they voted him the " Gore," — a gore of land not set off to any towns, in the north part of the State, which ultimately, before it left his hands, became quite valuable, and known as Deweysburgh. The ministers and councils used to receive accom- modations and large hospitalities at Capt. Dewey's. He liked to see all things going on in good order, and church matters among the rest. His tombstone reads thus: " Sacred to the memory of | Capt. Elijah Dewey | who departed this life Oct. 16, 1818 | in the 74th year of his age. | Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. | Could worth, could all the virtue save | Their owner from the darksome grave, | Here sacred friendship ne'er had come I To pour her tribute o'er thy tomb." M. March — , 1766, EUNICE BRUSH, sister to Col. Nathaniel; d. March 7, 1788; she was a remarkably good housekeeper. An anecdote illustrative of this, told of her, is as fol- lows: A young gentleman was moving around amongst the utensils of her kitchen very circumspectly, for fear of soiling his white pants. She spoke up and said, " You need not be afraid of my pots and kettles, they are as clean outside as within." At the time of the Bennington battle, Mrs. Capt. Elijah Dewey had large kettles of meat boiling for dinner for the men when they should return from the battle. Captain Isaac Tichenor, then a young man, arrived in town late that day on business (as commissary of the United States), by the way of Lebanon Springs and Williams- town, and stopped at the Dewey House. He ordered dinner, and was told by Mrs. Dewey that he could not have any. He referred to the con- 8/2 Dewey Genealogy. tents of the boiling pots on the fire. The spirited reply of Mrs. Dewey was, " That is for the men who have gone to fight for their country, where you ought to be." He quickly explained his business; he had been busy obtaining supplies for the army, and had ridden hard all that day to get to Bennington, in the discharge of his duty. Mrs. Dewey relented, and gave the tired commissary his dinner. Her tombstone reads as follows: " To the memory of | Mrs. Eunice Dewey | the amiable consort | of Capt. Elijah Dewey, who died | the 7 day of March, Anno Domini | 1788, in the 41* year of her age. | Peace to the sacred Relicts of the dead | Who more than conquer Death. | Reader, attend, to Wisdom's voice comply, | And learn like her to live, like her to die."

ELDAD DEWEY (see illustration of residence), son of Jedediah, 3d, b. Aug. 12, 1747, at Westfield, Mass.; d. July 31, 1821, ag. 73, at Bennington, Vt., where he was a farmer, after 1763; his father, the parson, built him a house in 1774, the heavy beams and timbers of which were in a perfect state of preservation in 1898, and with its central stack of chimneys and large open fireplaces is a fine example of an old time building; much of the furniture in the house was made from wood cut on the spot. The night before the battle of Bennington, the house was filled with soldiers, occupying every available spot, even the floors; Mrs. Dewey sat up and baked eighty loaves of bread, stepping over the sleeping soldiers on her way from pantry to oven; the rations were taken to the field by Mr. Dewey, who was unable to bear arms. The Vermont Gazette, of Aug. 7, 182 1, speaks thus of Eldad Dewey: " No man has left behind him a more amiable and unsullied character. Few can pass ELDAD DEWEY HOUSE, BENNINGTON, VT.

Branch or Jedediah. 873 to the grave as much beloved and respected and as free from moral frailty and blemish." M. Feb. 16, 1774, MARY TILDEN, dau. of Stephen and Mary, b. Nov. 9, 1751, at Lebanon, Conn.; d. Feb. 5, 1835; was a very resolute and energetic woman, who " looked well to the ways of her household." At the time of the battle she proposed to remain in her home, though many had left the town as well as the State, to find refuge in Massachusetts. When her hus- band went to the battlefield that day, he told her he had left a horse in the enclosure opposite the house, and if a messenger should be sent to say that the Americans were defeated she must take her children on the horse, and make all speed to Williamstown, as the Indians would soon be on hand to scalp and kill all the defenseless inhabitants in the place. In the course of the day she glanced through the door and saw a man leading her horse out and putting in a jaded, worn-out steed. She called to him not to take her horse, as it was the only way she had to save herself and children should the Indians come. He replied, " I must, madam. I am a surgeon and have come over the mountain to care for the wounded in the battle; my horse cannot go any farther, and there must be no delaying," and immediately rode away. There was a woman staying in the house with her, who began to lament " that they would be killed; " but she told her not to be afraid; she would make a kettle of hasty pudding and have a quantity of boiling water on hand, and if the Indians came she would throw hot hasty pudding and hot water; and showed her an old musket which she said she would load and fire. The woman was cheered and began to laugh. But the necessity to use these weapons did not occur, for all know the result of that hard-fought battle. Mrs. Dewey lived a long and useful life and had a family of eleven, four sons and seven daughters, the descendants of the youngest son living in the old homestead to this day. At the time of the Bennington battle, many of the inhabitants to the northward had fled as far south as this town, and with their families were given the best accommodations that could be afforded. Some of them were in the house of Eldad Dewey, and lodged upon the floor of the large kitchen. Mrs. Dewey had to be up, and heard some characteristic conversation the night before the battle. One woman pleaded very earnestly with her husband to let others fight the battle, and fly with her to a place of safety, — using all the arguments her ingenuity could sug- gest to induce him to desist from his purpose, but the stout-hearted patriot told her that even though he should be killed, she and the children would be better off than to have a husband and father who deserted his country in time of need, and he painted to her in colors so vivid the disgrace which would ever attach to their names if they should show the " white feather," that she at length gave up all hope of altering his purpose. In another part of the room a husband was complaining to his wife of a severe colic, which he feared would prevent him from going in the morning. Her woman's wit 874 Dewey Genealogy. suggested it was not colic, but cowardice, and she told him the neighbors would fling it in his face that he was a coward. The man's reply showed that he could brave such taunts, and he still insisted that he should be on the sick list the next morning, until his wife declared in emphatic tones that he might rely upon what she said, that unless he went to meet the foe with the rest, she should exchange clothes with him and go herself. This argu- ment proved so effective that he promised to go on to battle, colic or no colic. SIXTH GENERATION — Born at Bennington. 8127. Eldad, 2d, b. Jan. 5, 1775; d. unm.

The following newspaper article gives an interesting account of some of the woes which befell the bride of Oliver Dewey : A smallpox hospital was kept in the woods near Farmington, where patients went to have the disease in a mild form; there was a large rock which was the meeting place for the hospital attendants and the messengers from the two towns. At that time and for years after the ledge was known as the Smallpox Hospital Rock. Smallpox was held in dread by the old residents of Connecticut, and until Jenner's discovery of vaccination came into general use inoculation was practiced. Hundreds of people were inoculated at the Southington-Farm- ington hospital and the names carved on the sculptured rock are those of some of them. There are thought to be hundreds of these inscriptions, as the surface of the rock has been uncovered for a small area only. The dates run from 1792 to 1794. A bit of an old Farmington letter throws further light on the old pesthouse times. It says under date of 1794: " The young girls here are all in the pesthouse. I have been up to see them. They are as thick as toads after a rain. Nancy Hooker and Fanny Cowles have it the hardest, but they will do well, I believe." A story is told of a bride from New Britain who was sent during her honeymoon to this old pesthouse to have smallpox " according to orders." She was Mary, the daughter of Col. Gad Stanley, a soldier of the Revolu- tion, and had just been married to Oliver Dewey. The young couple had planned a wedding trip to North Carolina, which was a long journey for those days. It occurred to the bride's father that she might be exposed to smallpox while traveling, and he insisted upon her going to the pesthouse on the mountain tq take the disease in its mildest form. The bride wept and entreated not to be separated from her husband, and the latter expostu- lated, but to no avail. The old soldier was determined. To the pesthouse she went, and after a stay of several weeks passed through the disease in safety. Then she went on her wedding journey. SEVENTH GENERATION. 8360. George Stanley, b.

(see portrait), son of Silas, b. March 28, 1794, at Sheffield, Mass.; there d. March 21, 1882, ag. 88; the following biography is from The Berkshire Courier: The venerable Dr. Orville Dewey died at his home in Sheffield at an early hour on Tuesday morning. Though he had been long retired from active service, his decease, following so closely upon that of his friend and co-laborer. Dr. Bellows, removes one of the most conspicuous figures of the Unitarian denomination. Those who have known him only in his later years, find it hard to realize that he was the contemporary and assistant of Chan- ning, and that his toil was chiefly upon the foundations and not upon the superstructure of the Unitarian church. Outwardly, Dr. Dewey's life was uneventful, but it was his to participate — and not merely to participate, but to labor heroically — in one of those great movements of thought which rend communities and divide households against themselves. To-day orthodoxy may be exchanged for a liberal faith as easily as one exchanges a winter for a summer garment, and except in some out-of-the-way places that are hardly reached by the great currents of thought, no antagonism is aroused. But sixty years ago it was different. Such a change then meant sacrifice and keen pain — ^ the loss of friendship, of esteem, of position, and of opportunities of usefulness. Dr. Dewey was born at Sheffield, March 28, 1794, and consequently lacked just one week of reaching his eighty-eighth birthday. His father was a well-to-do and highly respected farmer, who gave him every educational advantage that was within reach. At the age of seventeen he entered the sophomore class at Williams College. Williams was then, as for years after- wards, famous for its revivals. It was said that no class went through the course w'ithout experiencing at least one of these awakenings. Young Dewey had grown up under religious influences at home, and his conversion at Williams followed in due course. His interest was profound and sincere, and as was natural he accepted the sombre views of life and of God's provi- dence, that were then supposed to be essential to a sound faith. He came to regard the Christian career as one of stern self-denial, almost of penance; a mere training for a better existence in another world. But with unflinch- ing purpose he entered upon it, and decided to prepare himself for the work of the ministry. A severe attack of the measles during the latter part of his junior year, so affected his eyes that he was able to get through the senior year only by having his books read to him. Notwithstanding this discouragement, his Branch of Jedediah. 949 diligence and native powers of mind enabled him to graduate in 1814 with the highest honors — as valedictorian of his class. Two years passed before his eyes were strong enough to warrant the taking up of theological studies. The interval was occupied with school teaching in Sheffield and employment in a book store in New York. In 1816 he entered the theological seminary at Andover, from which he graduated three years later. It wa^s while here that he heard from the lips of Channing another gospel, one which, as has been concisely said, " makes less of religious dogmas, less of creeds, less of intellectual belief, and more of practical outworking benevo- lence — more of controlling sympathies, affections, impulses." The impres- sion made was deep. Dr. Dewey has himself left on record an account of it: " I shall never forget the effect upon me, of the first sermon I ever heard from hini. Shall I confess, too, that, holding then a faith somewhat different from his, I listened to him with a certain degree of distrust and prejudice? These barriers, however, soon gave way; and sach was the effect of the simple and heart-touching truths and tones which fell from his lips, that it would have been a relief to me to have bowed my head, and to have wept without restraint, throughout the whole service. And yet I did not weep; for there was something in that impression too solemn and deep for tears." The change to Unitarianism was a very gradual one, however, and accom- plished only through prolonged reflection and struggle. When the time came to enter upon active labor Mr. Dewey was still unsettled in mind, and, unwilling to commit himself decisively one way or the other by accepting a parish, he preached for eight months as an agent of the American Education Society. Then for a year he ministered to a little church in Gloucester, Mass., which accepted him temporarily on a frank explanation of his peculiar position. Here, in isolation, he thought out the problem, relinquished the cherished associations of the past, and committed himself unreservedly to new faith, the new church and the new work. What this decision cost him may be understood from a single incident. Friends were deserting him, acquaintances " dropping " him, and the self-styled salt of the earth shun- ning him as they might a malefactor. Overwhelmed with loneliness he wrote to a classmate: " Come and see me. I am all alone. I must have sympathy. Let us talk together once more. Come; I am desolate." And the cruel answer came back, the answer that stupid bigotry has always had ready on such occasions: "I cannot; it is a crime worse than murder to doubt as you do." A career of noble labor and usefulness was now fairly begun. To speak in detail and with due appreciation of Dr. Dewey's more active years would require a volume, a volume that we trust may be forthcoming at no distant day. We here mention only the more important changes which those years brought, and the character of the duties with which they were filled. Leav- ing Gloucester he became Dr. Channing's assistant in Boston, where he remained two years, occupying the pulpit during Dr. Channing's stay in Europe. In 1823 he accepted a call to become the pastor of a Unitarian church in New Bedford. Ten years of too severe labor in this field under- mined his health, and he sought rest in a trip to Europe. He was absent two years, but not idle, and the two volumes on " The Old World and the New " which he published on his return show careful observation and a close study of social problems. In 1835 he became pastor of the Second Unitarian church of New York, now known as the Church of the Messiah, 950 Dewey Genealogy. which became under his ministry a large and prosperous society. Another two years were passed in Europe from 1842 to 1844, and ill health still con- tinuing Dr. Dewey was obliged to relinquish his New York charge in 1848, Retiring to his quiet farm home in Sheffield he occupied himself with the preparation of the famous Lowell Institute lectures on '' The Problem of Uuman Life and Destiny," which were repeated in New York, Brooklyn, New Bedford, Baltimore, Washington, > and other places. This course was followed in 1855 by another Lowell course on " The Education of the Human Race," which proved scarcely less popular than the first. In the meantime he tried preaching again, supplying an Albany pulpit one winter and one in Washington two winters. In 1858 he was settled over the New South church in Boston, where he remained four years. This was his last charge, and he has since lived in Sheffield. Dr. Dewey's published writings, besides those already mentioned, are: " Letters on Revivals " — his first work — and three volumes of discourses and reviews, consisting of : " Discourses on Human Nature," " Discourses OQ Human Life," " Discourses on the Nature of Religion," " Discourses on Commerce and Business," — in their moral aspects, — "Miscellaneous and Occasional Discourses," " The Unitarian Belief," and " Discourses and Reviews." His style is remarkable for directness and elegance, and his thought always strong, chaste and ennobling. He belonged strictly to the earlier and least ultra school of liberal theology. His was perhaps the most conservative mind that, swinging away from orthodoxy, ever attained to eminence in the Unitarian ranks. His attitude on the slavery question is in point. He differed radically from many of his clerical brethren of his own denomination. He abhorred human bondage as deeply as they did, but he would not have dealt with it as they did, by measures that imperiled the Union and precipitated the horrors of civil war. His later years, passed in the quiet of his Sheffield home, have been years of peaceful rest and retirement. He retained his interest in the best things of life and in the world's progress, but the heat and burden of active labor were relinquished to younger men. His manner was gentle and winning, and he enjoyed the profound respect and affection of every people with whom his lot was cast. In his domestic life he was especially favored and happy. He m.

Up to his seventieth year, he was accustomed to take a daily bath in the river or brook at five o'clock in the morning, summer and winter, breaking the ice when- ever necessary; was one of the oldest residents of the town, and had lived there fully seventy-five years, moving from New Britain when a lad of fifteen or sixteen. Perhaps no Westfield man was better known to the traveling public than " Dr." Dewey, as for many years he had been a feature at the local hotels and railroad depots, expressing his peculiar views on religion, morality and everything else celestial and terrestrial; and whenever oppor- tunity occurred pursuing his once famous calling of phrenologist. He was always sure of attentive listeners, who though they might scoff at his singular ideas and mode of expressing them, yet usually found themselves worsted if they tried to dispute them. In the days of the " California fever " he crossed the plains, and while others digged for gold he examined heads, and came home with a goodly amount of money. As a phrenologist he at one time ranked with the best in the country, and fifty years ago, in com- pany with Phineas L. Buell and Nelson Sizer, gave lectures and tests of the science in various parts of New England; m. March 7, 1821, at Westfield, HARRIET S. SACKETT, dau. of Wareham and Eunice (Foot), b.

The usual fortunes of the early settler befell this emigrant family, and it was not until the year 1849 that he was able to secure a patent from the Government on a tract of the coveted Illinois land; he settled in La Salle Co., and his homestead is still the residence of a portion of his family; he was of evangelical faith, and with all his famil}' before him, and many of those who followed, was a member of the Congregational denomination of Christians; he was a servant of Christ, and a lover of humanity, and was ever ready to sacrifice in the cause of righteousness; was a strong temperance man, one of the first among his early associates to declare against the custom of wine drinking in a social way, and to break away from a habit which he saw was becoming too strong for many of his friends; in politics he was an abolitionist and fought a good fight in the early days with men like Owen Lovejoy, and many a poor slave was helped on to freedom o,ver the " Underground R. R. " on which his house was a station; so advanced were his positions on the political questions of that early day, that his first vote to be counted with a majority at any general election was in i860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected to the Presi- dency; his heart was made glad by the turn public events were taking at that time, and though he was nearing the end of his life, he never lost his interest in matters concerning either his own country or the world at large, but passed out of life feeling a surety that events were progressing for the betterment of the whole world.

Just beyond the city limits, ere you reach the verdant fields, Where the sparse suburban neighborhood a village aspect yields, You may see a mound of trophies, which the many idly pass, Never dreaming of the history which consecrates the mass. The dust-heap has a poetry — a hieroglyphic art, An eloquence as sacred as the Pyramids impart! The relics which are gathered from the hot and noisy way,' Are laden with the memories of many a summer day. You cannot pass a dust-heap without a friendly smile — The old boot leering sideways at the tin pan on the pile; The refuse pan, all battered with the kicks and cuffs severe Which mark the reminiscence of a tin pan's bright career. You know that old shoe, certainly — it has the very hole Which " forward two," and " ladies change," have worn into the sole! The social ease it wears about the ample russet toe. Disparages the natty pair which pinch us as we go! That dipper, too! you know it well — it overhung the pail Which stood within the kitchen, underneath the dipper's nail; You-see the water dripping o'er the brightly polished rim. As sparkling now, as though it were not dinted, old and dim I ioo6 Dewey Genealogy. Familiar objects catch your eye among the rubbish there-, You recognize some fragments of your boyhood's " wear and tear " — Some buckle, strap, or button — or bobbin apron string, , Which held you in the leash of home, ere youth had taken wing! There is no fancy striving for a counterfeit of truth — The dust-heap on the common was the crucible of youth! And Time is yet the Alchymist all metals to assay; — Then be thine age the purer — for the dross shall melt away. George W. Dewey m.

Maria Dewey Holden, daughter of Dr. Royal Dwight Dewey, was born February 18, 1827, at Turin, in the same house where she died, having passed all her life, from the cradle to the grave, beneath its roof. August S, 1845, she married Emery B. Holden, who died in April, 1878. To them were born four children, E. Dewey and William D. Holden, of Turin; Mrs. William A. Olmsted, of Chicago, and R. Dwight. who died in 1862, aged about eighteen months. Besides these, one stepdaughter, Mrs. William P. Williams, daughter of her sister, Delia Helen Dewey, first wife of Emery B. Holden. In 1844 she united with the Turin Presbyterian Church, of which she was always a devoted, consistent member, and at the time of her death had been a member for a longer period of years than any one then living. Into her home life Mrs. Holden ever carried a spirit of gentleness and love, tempered with a judicious firmness. Her wise counsel was sought by the members of her family even to the day of her death. There dwelt about her the unmistakable stamp of culture and refinement of a mind enriched by wide reading of the choicest in Christian and secular literature. But the greatest of all her charms was the Christ-like spirit which illuminated her life with a heavenly radiance which lingers to lighten the pathway of those who cherished her as a mother and friend. She entered into the rest which remaineth to the people of God, at her home in Turin village, at half-past six o'clock Monday morning, August, i, 1898, aiter a lingering illness. She was buried in the family plot in Turin cemetery, funeral services being conducted by her pastor. Rev. E. C. Petrie, assisted by Rev. Sanger Dewey, of Constableville. 513.
